5.2 Commissioning and operation
To close the valve, turn the handle in a clockwise direction as far as the stop. To open the
valve, turn the handle anticlockwise as far as the stop. It will take approximately 4 turns
from open to closed and vice versa.
The ow can be controlled by not totally opening/closing the valve.
Please note that the handle may present a slight play and spin freely up to a
quarter turn when in the depressurised state. This is due to the constructive
design.
■
The valve, especially the handle, must not be subjected to any external loading (e.g. use
as a climbing aid, support for objects).
■
The handle may only be used by hand; the use of tools is not accepted.
■
The torque on reaching the valve stop must only be hand-tight.
■
Ensure that all valves of the product are closed prior to opening the main valve of the
process line.
