Shipment and on-site transport
− Protect the piping and any mounted
valve accessories against damage.
− Protect the control valve against moisture
and dirt.
− The permissible transportation tempera-
ture of standard control valves is –20 to
+65 °C.
Contact our after-sales service for the trans-

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.
