.3 Cleaning
After installation, the ChemBall | CSB must be fully
opened and the pipe flushed before closing the valve.
Cleaning products and tools must be compatible
with the valve. The use of incompatible products or
tools can damage the valve.

.3 Function Test
Prior to active use in the piping system, the ChemBall
| CSB should be opened and closed several times to
check its freedom of movement.
6 Maintenance
Periodical Servicing
The ChemBall | CSB muss must be regularly checked
for faultess operation (at least one every six months).
The checks can take place while mounted in the
pipeline and in most cases without interrupting
operation.
•
Check flanges for leaks and tighten bolts if neces
-
sary
• Check seal between body parts for leaks and tight
the body bolts if necessary
• Check valve for any corrosion or steam damage
• Clean valve and re-paint if necessary
• If possible, open and close the valve, ensuring
that the movement is smooth and the maximum
opening angle can be reached. The valve must be
replaced if the movement is found to be impaired.
7 Decommissioning
Warnings & Precautions
• During installation and maintenance work, suita-
ble protective clothing, including gloves and
protective goggles, must be worn.
• Prior to installation and maintenance work, the
pipe must be depressurised and emptied. If the
valve operates with dangerous flow media, the
pipe has to be emptied completely and flushed
with an appropriate cleaning fluid. Inappropriate
cleaning products can harm the valve!
•
If flange connections or locking screws are deta
-
ched, hot water, steam, caustic fluids or toxic
gases can be emitted. Severe scalding, burns and
poisoning are possible!
• During operation the valve may become very hot
or very cold. Installation and maintenance work
should only be carried out if the valve‘s tempera
-
ture is the same as the ambient temperature.
• Prior to dismounting the valve, preventative
measures against the possible leakage of dange-
rous media should be made.
• When removing the valve from the pipeline, it is
important to ensure that the PFA lining, ball and
seals are not damaged. Damaged parts may only
be replaced by genuine ChemValve-Schmid AG
parts.
