1. General information
These storage, operating and maintenance instructions apply for all AZ
plug valves and other AZ products based on the plug valve design. AZ
valves are high performance valves which can also be used under extreme
conditions. Due to this, the valves should be handled carefully in order
to avoid damages which could be hazardous to human health and/or the
environment. Please consider the relevant remarks in this manual.
Please check the valves immediately after receipt for any defects or
transport damages. Claims for transport damages can only be accepted
if the forwarder is informed immediately in writing. For return shipments
(transport damage or valve repair) please issue a damage report immedi-
ately and return the components back to the manufacturer, if possible in
the original packaging. Returning shall be sent free of charge for AZ. Other
returning terms have to be agreed with the AZ sales department.
Please provide the following information as a minimum for the returned valves:
• Name and address of the consignee
• Order number or AZ reference number
• Type of valve
• Description of the defect
The valve guarantee period must be agreed and confirmed by AZ at
the order confirmation stage. If no agreement has been reached be-
tween the buyer and the seller, the standard guarantee period as per
our general sales terms and conditions must be applied. In any case,
the general warranty terms of AZ Armaturen GmbH always apply. We
assume no liability if our storage, operating and maintenance instruc-
tions have been ignored and /or used for inappropriate installation
or maintenance work. The end user is responsible for the materials
selection regarding media consistency. AZ Armaturen can provide ad-
ditional technical information such as material recommendations from
steel suppliers and references. However, AZ Armaturen doesn’t give
any warranty regarding material adequacy and resistance.
