Note
4.3.2 Lifting the valve
To install a large valve into the pipeline, use
lifting equipment (e.g. crane or forklift) to lift
it.
Lifting instructions
− Use a hook with safety latch (see
Fig. 4-1) to secure the slings from slip-
ping off the hook during lifting and
transporting.
− Secure slings against slipping.
− Make sure the slings can be removed
from the valve once it has been installed
into the pipeline.
− Prevent the control valve from tilting or
tipping over.
− Do not leave loads suspended when in -
terrupting work for longer periods of
time.
− Make sure that the axis of the pipeline is
always horizontal during lifting and the
axis of the plug stem is always vertical.
− Make sure that the additional sling
between the lashing point on the
actuator and rigging equipment (hook,
shackle etc.) does not bear any load
when lifting valves larger than DN 150.
The sling only protects the control valve
from tilting while being lifted. Before
lifting the control valve, tighten the sling.
Lifting the control valve
1. Attach one sling to each flange of the
body and to the rigging equipment (e.g.
hook) of the crane or forklift (see
Fig. 4-1).
