Caution:
Sling eyes (
X
, see Figure 3) are
not to be used
for lifting an actuated valve assembly.
Sling eyes can only be used to stabilise the assembly. Suitable support of the valve and actuator will
be required.
See separate Installation and Maintenance Instructions for the control valve. For details of differential
pressures associated with the Spira-trol
TM
KE and KEA control valves refer to the relevant actuator Technical
Information (TI) sheet.
The actuators should be installed in such a position as to allow full access to both the actuator and the valve
for maintenance purposes. The preferred mounting position is with the actuator and valve spindle in the
vertical position or horizontal to the pipework (it is essential that support is provided when the installation is
in the horizontal position), see Figure 4).
Note : Due to the thrust that the actuator uses, it can deteriorate the valve or the coupling parts,
if the working pressures are exceeded.
