Safety Instructions
To ensure that the valve functions correctly, it is
important to follow these installation and opera-
ting instructions. Only qualified personnel who have
been instructed in the installation, fitting, commissi
-
oning, operating and maintenance of the device are
permitted to install the valve. ChemValve-Schmid AG
assumes no liability for faults resulting from impro-
per installation.
Warnings and Precautions
• During installation and maintenance work, suita-
ble protective clothing, including gloves and
protective goggles, must be worn.
• Prior to installation and maintenance work, the
pipe must be depressurised and emptied. If the
valve operates with dangerous flow media, the
pipe has to be emptied completely and flushed
with an appropriate cleaning fluid. Inappropriate
cleaning products can harm the valve!
•
If flange connections or locking screws are deta
-
ched, hot water, steam, caustic fluids or toxic
gases can be emitted. Severe scalding, burns and
poisoning are possible!
• During operation the valve may become very hot
or very cold. Installation and maintenance work
should only be carried out if the valve‘s tempera
-
ture is the same as the ambient temperature.
• Prior to dismounting the valve, preventative
measures against the possible leakage of dange-
rous media should be made.
• When removing the valve from the pipeline, it is
important to ensure that the PFA lining, ball and
seals are not damaged. Damaged parts may only
be replaced by genuine ChemValve-Schmid AG
parts.
• Only suitable cleaning products may be used.
Personnel Requirements
The improper handling of shut-off valves can lead to
injury and material damage! Only trained specialists
with the requisite qualifications and experience may
dismantle, assemble and test the valves.
