MOUNTING ON PIPES – IKV, IKF, KVI, KVD, KVM, KVR, KVI-B
Before mounting of the flap valve, make sure that the mounting surface of the inspection well or existing pipe is clean
and smooth. Make sure the flap valve is intact and clean.
When mounted the flap valve should not lean more than 5 degrees from horizontal in any direction. Violating this can
result in reduced watertightness, blockage of moving parts and permanent damage to the flap valve.
IKV and IKF flap valve for direct plug-in into pipe installations are supplied as standard with two sets of sealing rings in
different sizes to ensure proper sealing on pipes with variable tolerances.
For proper sealing, make sure to use the correct one.
SERVICE ACCESS
To be able to perform proper repair and servicing of the flap valve, there must be an acceptable accessibility to reach
the flap valve.
