Installation
5.3.2 Installing the valve into
the pipeline
1. Close the shut-off valves in the pipeline
at the inlet and outlet of the plant section
while the valve is being installed.
2. Prepare the relevant section of the pipe-
line for installing the valve.
3. Remove the protective caps from the
valve ports before installing the valve.
4. Lift the valve using suitable lifting equip-
ment to the site of installation (see the
'Lifting the valve' section). Observe the
flow direction through the valve. The ar -
row on the valve indicates the direction
of flow.
5. Make sure that the correct flange gaskets
are used.
6. Bolt the pipe to the valve free of stress.
7. Attach a support or suspension on the
valve, if necessary.
5.4 Testing the installed valve
Risk of bursting due to incorrect opening of
pressurized equipment or components.
Valves and pipelines are pressure equipment
that may burst when handled incorrectly.
Flying projectile fragments or the release of
compressed medium can cause serious in-
jury or even death.
Before working on the control valve:
Î
Depressurize all plant sections affected
and the valve (including the actuator).
Release any stored energy.
Î
Drain the process medium from all the
plant sections concerned as well as the
valve.
Risk of electric shock.
Î
Do not remove any covers to perform
adjustment work on live parts.
Î
Before performing any work on the
device and before opening the device,
disconnect the supply voltage and protect
it against unintentional reconnection.
Î
Only use power interruption devices that
are protected against unintentional re-
connection of the power supply.
Risk of hearing loss or deafness due to loud
noise.
Noise emission (e.g. cavitation or flashing)
may occur during operation caused by the
process medium and the operating
conditions. Additionally, a loud noise may
briefly occur through the sudden venting of
the pneumatic actuator or pneumatic valve
accessories not fitted with noise-reducing
fittings. Both can damage hearing.
Î
Wear hearing protection when working
near the valve.
Crush hazard arising from actuator and
plug stem moving.
Î
Do not insert hands or finger into the
yoke while the valve is in operation.
