Installation
3.1
Unpack and inspect
Remove all the packing materials and check the IBV ball valve.
If the valve is damaged, notify the supplier and carrier in writing within three days; state the Item Number of the
valve together with the order number and suppliers invoice number. Retain the packing materials for inspection. Do
not use the valve if damaged.
3.2
Install the valve
The valve is normally supported by the pipeline it is fitted to and can be mounted in any orientation. Connect the
valve to the vacuum system with standard NW coupling components or BSP male threaded pipe or adaptors coated
with PTFE tape.
The operating handle cannot be re-orientated as the stop mechanism will not permit it to operate or operate fully
in any other assembly mode.
WARNING
Take appropriate safety precautions when installing the valve in a system which has pumped
dangerous process substances.
WARNING
Do not open or close this valve until it is attached by both ends to a system as the rotary ball
mechanism can cause injury to any appendage inserted into the mechanism.
WARNING
The handle cover is manufactured from PVC. Do not store or use near an ignition source.
