Samson 3214, Mounting And Operating Instructions

Page: 7 / 16

2 Installation
2.1 Mounting position
Install the valve in upright position into a
horizontal pipeline. Make sure the direction
of flow corresponds to the arrow on the
valve body.
Make sure you choose a place of installation
that allows you to freely access the valve
even after the entire plant has been com-
pleted.
Install a strainer upstream of the valve to
prevent that any sealing parts, weld spatter,
and other impurities carried along by the
process medium impair the proper function-
ing of the valve, above all the tight shut-off.
Note!
Make sure the valve body is mounted free of
stress and not exposed to excessive vibra-
tion. If necessary, support the piping near
the connections.
Flush the pipeline thoroughly before installa-
tion.
2.2 Strainer
Install the strainer upstream of the control
valve. Make sure the direction of flow corre-
sponds to the arrow on the valve body.
The filter element must be vertically sus-
pended. Remember to leave enough space
to remove it.
2.3 Additional mounting instruc-
tions
We recommend to install a hand-operated
shut-off valve both upstream of the strainer
and downstream of the valve to be able to
shut down the plant for cleaning and main-
tenance, and when the plant is not used for
longer periods of time.
