Consolidated 1511 Series Safety Valve Instruction Manual

Proper installation and startup is essential to the safe and reliable operation of
all valve products. The relevant procedures recommended by Baker Hughes and
described in these instructions are effective methods of performing the required
tasks.
It is important to note that these instructions contain various “safety messages”
which should be carefully read in order to minimize the risk of personal injury or the
possibility that improper procedures will be followed which may damage the involved
product or render it unsafe. It is also important to understand that these “safety
messages” are not exhaustive. Baker Hughes cannot possibly know, evaluate,
and advise any customer of all of the conceivable ways in which tasks might be
performed, or of all possible hazardous consequences. Consequently, Baker
Hughes has not undertaken any such broad evaluation and, thus, anyone who uses
a procedure and/or tool that is not recommended by Baker Hughes, or deviates from
Baker Hughes recommendations must be thoroughly satisfied that neither personal
safety, nor valve safety, will be jeopardized by the method and/or tools selected. If
not so satisfied, contact Baker Hughes if there are any questions relative to tools/
methods.
The installation and start-up of valves and/or valve products may involve proximity
to fluids at extremely high pressure and/or temperature. Consequently, every
precaution should be taken to prevent injury to personnel during the performance of
any procedure. These precautions should consist of, but are not limited to, ear drum
protection, eye protection, and the use of protective clothing, (i.e., gloves, etc.) when
personnel are in, or around, a valve work area. Due to the various circumstances
and conditions in which these operations may be performed on Consolidated
products, and the possible hazardous consequences of each way, Baker Hughes
cannot possibly evaluate all conditions that might injure personnel or equipment.
Nevertheless, Baker Hughes does offer certain Safety Precautions, listed in Section
II, for customer information only.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser or user of Baker Hughes valves/equipment
to adequately train all personnel who will be working with the involved valves/
equipment. For more information on training schedules, contact your local Green
Tag Center. Further, prior to working with the involved valves/equipment, personnel
who are to perform such work should become thoroughly familiar with the contents
of these instructions.
Wear necessary
protective equipment to
prevent possible injury.
