1.14 Freezing
Provision must be made to protect products which are not self-draining against frost damage if they
are inoperative in environments where they may be exposed to temperatures below freezing point.
1.15 Safety information - Product specific
This product should not be dismantled without first releasing the compression on the control
spring. The soft seal version of this valve (SV615AV and SV615BV) contains a Viton component.
If the valve has been subjected to a temperature approaching 315 °C, the Viton material may have
decomposed and formed hydroflouric acid. Avoid skin contact and inhalation of any dust or fumes
as this acid causes deep burns and damage to the respiratory system.
1.16 Disposal
Unless otherwise stated in the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, this product is recyclable
and no ecological hazard is anticipated with its disposal providing due care is taken. However, if
the valve is fitted with a Viton seal, special care must be taken to avoid potential health hazards
associated with decomposition/burning of this item.
Viton:
-
Can be landfilled, when in compliance with National and Local regulations.
-
Can be incinerated, but a scrubber must be used to remove Hydrogen Fluoride, which is evolved
from the product and with compliance to National and Local regulations.
-
Is insoluable in aquatic media.
