4 Storage and transport
This chapter contains information about how to transport the valve with and without
packaging material. It also describes the minimum requirements for storage after deliv-
ery and for any necessary intermediate storage.
It is addressed to all persons who carry out actions related to the transport or storage
of the valve.
INFO
During all transport, observe chapter
2 Safety
of this Operating Instruc-
tions.
4.1 Scope of supply
On receipt of the valve check whether
● the details on the type plate correspond to the data in the order and delivery docu-
ments,
●
the equipment is complete and all components are in good order.
4.2 Storage
The valves, valve inserts or spare parts should be stored in a dry place, free of vibration
and dust, and protected from light. To avoid damage, leave the components in their
original packaging if possible.
If, during transport or storage, the valve is going to be exposed to temperatures ≤ 0°C,
it must be dried beforehand and suitable measures must be taken to protect it from
damage.
INFO
We recommend that the valve should be stored at a temperature of ≥ 5 °C
for a period of 24 hours prior to any handling (removal of the housing / ac-
tivation of actuators) so that any ice crystals formed by condensation water
can melt.
