Figure | 4-1: Schematic drawing of the lifting points on the valve
Conditions for lifting
Ö
Use a hook with a safety clamp as the suspension element so
that the sling cannot slip off the hook during lifting and trans-
port, see Figure 4-1.
Ö
Secure the sling against shifting and slipping off.
Ö
Fasten the sling such that it can be removed again after in-
stallation in the pipe.
Ö
Avoid swinging and tipping the valve.
Ö
In the case of interruptions in work, do not leave the lifting
equipment suspended in the air for a long period of time.
Ö
Lift the valve aligned in the same direction in which it will be
installed in the pipe.
Ö
Always lift the valve in the centre of gravity of the load to
prevent uncontrolled tipping.
Ö
Also secure the valve to prevent it from tipping to the side.
Ö
Make sure that in the case of valves and actuators with lifting
eyes that the additional sling between the lifting eye and the
suspension element does not take on any load. This sling is
used only to secure the load against turning over while lifting.
Before lifting the valve, pretension this sling so it is taut.
Danger due to incorrect lifting and transport!
The lifting points for the lifting slings shown in the schematic
drawing serve as examples for most valve variants. On site the
conditions for lifting and transporting the valve can change how-
ever.
Ö
The operator makes sure that the valve is lifted and transport-
ed safely.
Lifting the valve
Ö
Fasten a lifting sling to each fl ange of the housing and on the
suspension element (e.g. hook) of the crane or forklift, see
Figure 4-1.
When doing so, ensure the safety, bearing capacity and
length of the lifting slings
Ö
In the case of a actuator with a lifting eye: fasten additional
lifting slings to the lifting eye on the actuator and on the sus-
pension element.
Ö
Lift the valve carefully. Check if the load lifting equipment
holds.
Ö
Move the valve at a constant speed to the installation site.
Ö
Install the valve in the pipe , see chapter 5.4.
Ö
After installation in the pipe: check that the fl anges are fi rmly
tightened and that the valve holds in the pipe.
Ö
Remove the lifting slings.
4.4 Storing the valve
Damage to the valve due to improper storage!
Ö
Comply with the storage conditions.
Ö
Avoid long storage periods.
Ö
In the case of deviating storage conditions and a longer stor-
age period, contact PFEIFFER.
PFEIFFER recommends checking the valve and the storage condi-
tions regularly during a longer storage period.
Ö
In the case of storage prior to installation, the valve should
normally be stored in a closed room where it is protected
against harmful in
fl uences such as impacts, dirt or moisture.
PFEIFFER recommends a room temperature of 25°C ±15°C.
Ö
In particular, the actuator and the ends of the valve to the
pipe connection may not be damaged by mechanical or any
other in
fl uences.
Ö
Prevent condensation in damp rooms. Use a desiccant or
heater.
