5 Transport, storage and disposal
It is imperative, for all transport work, to
observe generally accepted engineering
practice and
the accident prevention
regulations.
The overflow valve is supplied with flange
caps. They protect the plastic surfaces
against dirt and mechanical damage. Do not
remove them until just before installation.
Handle the goods being transported with care. During
transport the valve must be protected against impacts
and collisions.
Never transport the valve using the lifting lever
238.
See sectional drawings in Section 10 .
Transport the valve upright in a box or on a pallet on a
soft surface and deposit gently on flat ground.
Directly after receipt of the goods, the consignment
must be checked for completeness and any in-transit
damage.
Do not damage paint protection.
5.1 Transport securing
Overflow valves with set pressures ≤ 0.5 bar are fitted
at the works with a transport fastening strap which
holds the stem in the axial direction
and prevents damage to the shut-off element as a
result of the stem shaking during transport. See
Fig. 1
and Section 6.7 .
The flange cover may only be removed when the
transport fastening strap has been cut through and
removed. This ensures that installation of the valve is
only possible when the stem blocking feature has
been eliminated.
