4.2.1 INSTALLATIONS IN THE PIPELINE UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM OF THE VALVE
If the valve is used in a contaminated media, it requires a filter with a suitable mesh size placed upstream of the valve in
order to prevent malfunction.
The following distances must be kept to avoid irregular flow which could disturb the valve function:
• The distance to elbows, strainers etc. must be kept to a minimum of DN, upstream or downstream.
• The distance to control valves must be kept to a minimum of 10 x DN upstream of the butterfly valve.
4.3 INSTALLATION POSITION
AVK double eccentric butterfly valves in all nominal widths can be installed with shafts in horizontal position (with gear
facing upwards or downwards). A vertical position of the valve shaft is possible but it may affect the service life of the
valve (number of operating cycles).
Preferred installation
4.4 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS AND FITTINGS
Check the valve for possible damage that may have occurred during transport or storage.
Protect the valve from any kind of dirt on the construction site by using an adequate cover until installation.
All components (like seat and sealing ring on the disc) must be thoroughly cleaned before installation in order to remove
all dirt particles. AVK does not assume any liability for consequential damage caused by dirt, shot-blasting gravel
residues etc.
If any equipment is sand-blasted for cleaning prior to the installation, make sure that this equipment is adequately
covered. If solvents are used for cleaning, make sure that the solvents do not destroy the pipeline seals or the valve.
The sealing and operational parts must be checked for proper functionality before installation.
If the valve needs a repaint at a later stage, it is important to keep sealing and operational parts completely free from
paint. Also, it is not allowed to paint over the identification plates.
Make sure that the proper load suspension devices as well as means of transport and lifting devices are available during
assembly of the AVK double eccentric butterfly valve.
