CYLINDER OPERATED VALVES
Equipment orientation
The preferred orientation for optimum protection
is with the cylinder in the vertical position. This
position gives the best support to the cylinder
rod and helps reduces the chance of a “flat spot”
developing on the cylinder seals. An acceptable
alternate position for valves with cylinder
diameters of less than 6 inches (150 mm) is with
the cylinder in the horizontal position.
Preparation for storage
Valves may be stored as shipped, provided
the storage facility and equipment orientation
instructions above are followed. If valve
packaging is altered or removed for receiving
inspection, repackage valve as originally
received. Standard packaging materials cannot
be considered sufficient for outdoor storage.
Cylinder storage
These cylinder storage instructions are not
intended to replace the instructions of the
specific cylinder manufacturer and are to be
used as a guide only. If specific instructions
are required, please contact our office. For
storage of up to 3 years; Squirt a high quality
grade of hydraulic oil or synthetic lubricant into
the cylinder ports and operate cylinder 6-12
times on a yearly basis. For storage 3-5 years;
Lubricate as above. Additionally, extend cylinder
rod until the valve is fully closed. Coat cylinder
rod with high quality heavy grease or synthetic
lubricant. Retract cylinder rod until valve is fully
open, drawing lubricant into rod end of cylinder.
Securely plug cylinder ports with pipe plugs, if
cylinder is not prepiped to control accessories.
If cylinder is prepiped to accessories, plug all
input and output ports of accessories.
Storage inspection
Visual inspection shall be performed on a semi-
annual basis and results recorded. Inspection as
a minimum shall include reviewing the following:
• Packaging
• Flange covers
• Dryness
• Cleanliness
Maintenance
Maintenance shall consist of correcting
deficiencies noted during inspection.
All maintenance shall be recorded.
Contact factory prior to performing any
maintenance if valve is still covered under
warranty.
