3.3 Storage/preservation
If commissioning is to take place some time after delivery, we recommend that the
following measures be taken for storing the valve:
CAUTION
Incorrect storage
Damage due to dirt, corrosion, humidity and/or frost!
▷
Close the valve using little force and store in the closed position.
▷
Store the valve in a frost-proof room where the atmospheric humidity is as
constant as possible.
▷
Protect the valve from dust during storage, e.g. with suitable caps or foils.
▷
Protect the valve from contact with solvents, lubricants, fuels or other
chemicals.
▷
Store the valve in vibration-free conditions.
If properly stored indoors, the equipment is protected for a maximum of 12 months.
NOTE
If the valves are fitted with actuators, ensure that the actuator's operating manual
is also observed.
