1.1 Name plate, CE and body
markings
The stainless steel name plate is undetachably riveted
to the body.
If the operator attaches his identification, it must be
ensured that the valve matches the application in
question.
Example of name plate with CE marking:
No CE marking is permissible for the sizes ½“ and ¾“
the name plate therefore has no CE marking.
Example: Additional name plate KNAR, KNARP
Body identification :
The following are visible on the body according to DIN
EN 19 and AD 2000 A4:
 Nominal size

Rated pressure

Body material
 Manufacturer's identification
 Melt number/Foundry identification

Cast date
1.2 V-control ball/stem unit
The advantage of a single-piece v-control ball/stem
unit is the play-free power transmission. This applies
in particular to plastic-lined components.
The end of the stem journal or flat pivot point is
marked with:
 direction of flow
 flow rate Kvs and Cv

lining material
As viewed from above, closing is in clockwise
direction.
1.3 Tightening torques
All screws greased, tighten in diametrically
opposite sequence!
The tightening torques for pipe screws and body
