Shipment and on-site transport
− The permissible transportation tempera-
ture of standard control valves is –20 to
+65°C (–4 to +149°F).
Contact our after-sales service for the trans-
portation temperatures of other valve ver-
sions.
4.3.2 Lifting the valve
To install a large valve into the pipeline, use
lifting equipment (e.g. crane or forklift) to lift
it.
Lifting instructions
− Use a hook with safety latch (see
Fig.4-1) to secure the slings from slip-
ping off the hook during lifting and
transporting.
− Secure slings against slipping.
− Make sure the slings can be removed
from the valve once it has been installed
into the pipeline.
− Prevent the control valve from tilting or
tipping over.
− Do not leave loads suspended when in-
terrupting work for longer periods of
time.
− Make sure that the axis of the pipeline is
always horizontal during lifting and the
axis of the valve shaft is always vertical.
Lifting the control valve
1. Attach one sling to each ange of the
body and to the rigging equipment (e.g.
hook) of the crane or forklift (see
Fig.4-1).
2. If necessary, attach additional slings that
do not bear any load but prevent the
control valve from turning or tipping
over.
3. Carefully lift the control valve. Check
whether the lifting equipment and acces-
sories can bear the weight.
4. Move the control valve at an even pace
to the site of installation.
5. Install the valve into the pipeline (see the
'Installation' section).
6. After installation in the pipeline, check
whether the anges are bolted tight and
the valve in the pipeline holds.
7. Remove slings.
