2.1 TEMPORARY STORAGE
If valves are to be stored before installation, the following should be observed:
a) Keep the valves wrapped and protected as shipped from the manufacturer.
b) Do not remove the protective ends covering until the valve is ready for installation. This will reduce the
possibility of foreign material damaging the internal valve components.
c) Valves stored outdoors should be positioned such that water does not accumulate in the valve body.
d) We recommend you tropicalise bore and ends of valves if stored in humid or salt air environment.
2.2 LONG TERM STORAGE
If valves are to be stored more than one year, they should be prepared in the following manner:
a) Remove the packing and apply a preservative to the packing chamber.
b) Do not remove the protective end covering.
c) Do not store the valves outdoors.
