 Unfavourable installation position and 

 thus unfavourable flow at the valve (e.g. 

 installed to closely behind the elbow) 

 Change installation position (cf. Section 4.3) 

 Valve operating beyond the design limits

 Check design and/or operational data; if requi-

 red, change resistance in valve by using other  

 internals. 

 Valve can not be operated 

 

 Foreign particle jammed in the seat area   Flush valve; if required, disassemble valve and  

 remove foreign object 

 Gear blocked 

 Dissolving the blockage 

 

 Electric actuator not yet connected to 

 power supply

 Connect to power supply 

 

 Unfavourable flow at the valve and
