4.4 Storing the valve
Risk of valve damage due to improper
storage.
Î
Observe the storage instructions.
Î
Avoid long storage times.
Î
Contact SAMSON in case of different
storage conditions or longer storage
times.
We recommend regularly checking the con-
trol valve and the prevailing storage condi-
tions during long storage periods.
Storage instructions
− Protect the control valve against external
influences (e.g. impact).
− Secure the valve in the stored position
against slipping or tipping over.
− Do not damage the corrosion protection
(paint, surface coatings). Repair any
damage immediately.
− Protect the control valve against moisture
and dirt. Store it at a relative humidity of
less than 75 %. In damp spaces, prevent
condensation. If necessary, use a drying
agent or heating.
− Make sure that the ambient air is free of
acids or other corrosive media.
− The permissible storage temperature of
standard control valves is –20 to +65 °C
(–4 to +149 °F). Contact our after-sales
service for the storage temperatures of
other valve versions.
− Do not place any objects on the control
valve.
Special storage instructions for elastomers
Elastomer, e.g. actuator diaphragm
− To keep elastomers in shape and to pre -
vent cracking, do not bend them or hang
them up.
− We recommend a storage temperature of
15 °C (59 °F) for elastomers.
− Store elastomers away from lubricants,
chemicals, solutions and fuels.
SAMSON's After-sales Service can provide
more detailed storage instructions on re-
quest.
