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 to secure the
slings from slipping off the hook during
lifting and transporting.
− Secure slings against slipping.
− Make sure the slings can be removed
from the device 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 plug stem
remains in the vertical position during
lifting.
Lifting the control valve
1. WithType3271/3277orType3372:
carefully guide two slings around the
ange and attach them to the rigging
equipment of the crane or forklift (see
Fig.4-1, Fig.4-2 and Fig.4-3). Make
sure that the actuator stem and valve ac-
cessories are not damaged.
For actuator versions with lifting eyelet,
attach an additional sling to the lifting
eyelet of the actuator and to the rigging
equipment of the crane or forklift (see
Fig.4-2).
WithType3379Actuator: carefully
guide two slings around the actuator. Se-
cure the slings against slipping by using
a connector (see Fig.4-4).
2. Carefully lift the control valve. Check
whether the lifting equipment and acces-
sories can bear the weight.
3. Move the control valve at an even pace
to the site of installation.
4. Install the valve into the pipeline (see the
'Installation' chapter).
5. After installation into the pipeline: de-
pending on the type of connection (e.g.
welding joint, anged joint etc.) check
whether the valve in the pipeline holds.
6. Remove slings.
