Transport and Handling
▲
WARNING
Only qualified personnel in rigging may
use lifting equipment to transport and
handle this unit. If violated, personal injury
and/or equipment damage may result.
Do not exceed the specification of
lifting equipment and its accessories
for transport and handling of this unit. If
violated, personal injury and/or equipment
damage may result.
Never stand, work or crawl under the load.
The load could swing, pieces could drop
or the load could fall or slip. Allow for this
possibility by establishing a safe distance
between yourself and the load, and
never lift the load over others. If violated,
personal injury and/or equipment damage
may result.
△
CAUTION
Eyebolts are provided to aid in the
transport and handling of this unit.
When lifting this unit, use both
the eyebolts.
The load should never be applied
at more than 45 degree angles
from the bolt center line. Refer to
Figure 7 for proper orientation of lifting
line and eyebolts.
Eyebolts are designed just for handling
the weight of this unit. Do not attempt
to lift more weight than that of this unit
with these eyebolts.
Loads must be applied only in the plane
of the lifting eyebolt. If the plane of the
eyebolt is not aligned with the load,
estimate the amount of unthreading
necessary to properly align the eye.
Remove the eyebolt and add shims to
adjust the angle of the plane of the eye.
Weight on the lifting straps may cause
them to unwind, which can cause a
hanging load to rotate. Make sure the
straps are not twisted before lifting, or
if necessary use a tag line attached to
one of the eyebolts, to which a person
can grip and stabilize the weight
during lifting.
Installation
▲
WARNING
Personal injury or equipment damage,
due to bursting of pressure-containing
parts may result if this slam-shut
valve is overpressured or is installed
where service conditions could exceed
the limits given in the Specification
section and on the appropriate
nameplate or where conditions exceed
any rating of the adjacent piping or
piping connections.
To avoid such injury or damage, provide
pressure-relieving or pressure-limiting
devices to prevent service conditions
from exceeding those limits.
Also, be sure the installation is in
compliance with all applicable codes
and regulations.
Additionally, physical damage to
the slam-shut valve could break the
slam-shut controller off the main valve,
causing personal injury and property
damage due to bursting of pressure-
containing parts. To avoid such injury
and damage, install the slam-shut valve
in a safe location.
Installation procedures performed
by unqualified personnel may result
in improper adjustment and unsafe
operation. Either condition may result in
equipment damage or personal injury.
Only a qualified person shall install or
service the Type BM9 slam-shut valve.
When selecting Type OS9/80X-R-PN or
Type OS9/84X-R-PN controller, the JET
must direct to or be piped to safe area,
shown in Figures 6, 15 and 16. If violated,
serious injury may occur due to sudden
release of extremely high pressure.
△
CAUTION
Eyebolts are installed to aid in the
handling and installation of the
slam-shut valve assembly only. Always
utilize both eyebolts and do not attempt
to lift more weight than the slam-shut
valve with these eyebolts.
