5 Installation
The work described in this section is only to
be performed by personnel appropriately
qualied to carry out such tasks.
5.1 Installation conditions
Work position
The work position for the control valve is the
front view looking onto the operating con-
trols (including valve accessories).
Plant operators must ensure that, after instal-
lation of the device, the operating personnel
can perform all necessary work safely and
easily access the device from the work posi-
tion.
Pipeline routing
The inlet and outlet lengths (see Table 5-1)
vary depending on several variables and
process conditions and are intended as rec-
ommendations. Contact SAMSON if the
lengths are signicantly shorter than the rec-
ommended lengths.
To ensure that the valve functions properly,
proceed as follows:
Î Observe the inlet and outlet lengths (see
Table 5-1). Contact SAMSON if the
valve conditions or states of the medium
process deviate.
Î Install the valve free of stress and with the
least amount of vibrations as possible.
Read ‘Mounting position’ and ‘Support
or suspension’ in this section.
Î Install the valve allowing sufcient space
to remove the actuator and valve or to
perform service work on them.
Mounting position
Generally, we recommend installing the
valve with the actuator upright and on top of
the valve.
Î Contact SAMSON if the mounting posi-
tion is not as specied above.
Support or suspension
The plant engineering company is responsi-
ble for selecting and implementing a suitable
support or suspension of the installed control
valve and the pipeline.
Depending on the valve version and mount-
ing position, the valve, actuator and pipeline
must be supported or suspended.
Valve accessories
Î During connection of valve accessories,
make sure that they are easily accessible
and can be operated safely from the
work position.
Vent plugs
Vent plugs are screwed into the exhaust air
ports of pneumatic and electropneumatic
devices. They ensure that any exhaust air
that forms can be vented to the atmosphere
(to avoid excess pressure in the device).
Furthermore, the vent plugs allow air intake
to prevent a vacuum from forming in the
device.
