5 Installation
The work described in this section is only to
be performed by personnel appropriately
qualified to carry out such tasks.
5.1 Installation conditions
Work position
The work position for the control valve is the
front view looking onto the operating con

trols (including valve accessories).
Plant operators must ensure that, after instal-
lation of the device, the operating personnel
can perform all necessary work safely and
easily access the device from the work posi

Pipeline routing
The inlet and outlet lengths (see Table 5-1)
vary depending on several variables and
process conditions and are intended as rec
-
ommendations. Contact SAMSON if the
lengths are significantly shorter than the rec-
ommended lengths.
To ensure that the valve functions properly,
proceed as follows:
