SAFETY

•  Assess all risks to eliminate the possibility of personal 

injury and material damage. Read these instructions 
thoroughly.

•  Always use the necessary protective equipment and comply 

with applicable safety directives when working with 
hazardous or hot/cold media.

•  Never operate a valve without first ensuring there is no risk 

of crush injuries. The risk is highest with automated valves. 
Take necessary safety precautions to avoid unintentional 
stroking of the actuator / valve.

•  Never dismantle a valve or part of a valve without ensuring 

the line is free of pressure and media.

•  Ball valves must always be dismantled in the semi-open 

position to avoid trapping pressure and media.

•  Always check that the valve type and material is suitable for 

its intended use. This applies especially to highly oxidizing 
and corrosive media. Observe also the risk of erosion or 
explosion, as well as decaying medium. If in doubt, always 
request a written recommen

dation from Flowserve.
