Lubrication
It is recommended to lubricate the stem twice a year by
removing the protection cap and filling it with grease up to
half its volume.
After the maintenance and in an ATEX zone, you
must check the electrical continuity between
the pipe and the rest of the valve’s components,
such as the body, gate, stem… EN 12266‐2 Standard, annex
B, points B.2.2.2. and B.2.3.1.)

STORAGE
To ensure the valve is in optimum conditions of use after
long periods of storage, it should be stored in a well‐
ventilated place at temperatures below 30ºC.
It is not advisable, but if it is stored outside, the valve must
be covered to protect it from heat and direct sunlight, with
good ventilation to prevent humidity. The following
aspects must be considered for storage purposes:
The storage place must be dry and under cover.
It is not recommended to store the equipment out-
doors with direct exposure to adverse weather con-
ditions, such as rain, wind, etc. Even less so if the
equipment is not protected with packaging.
This recommendation is even more important in
areas with high humidity and saline environments.
Wind can carry dust and particles which can come
into contact with the valve’s mobile parts and this
can lead to operating difficulties. The actuator sys-
tem can also be damage due to the introduction of
particles in the different elements.
The equipment must be stored on a flat surface to
avoid deformations.
If the equipment is stored without suitable packag-
ing it is important to keep the valve’s mobile parts
lubricated, for this reason, it is recommended to
carry out regular checks and lubrication.
Likewise, if there are any machined surfaces without
surface protection it is important for some form of
protection to be applied to prevent the appearance
of corrosion.
Store the valves in open position to ensure that the
sleeves are not deformed.
