THE IMPORT-EXPORT OF
CONFLOW
PRODUCTS FROM ONE COUNTRY TO ANOTHER IS
REGULATED BY SAFETY AND TRADE LEGISLATION IN THESE COUNTRIES. BEFORE

CONFLICT WITH THE REGULATIONS OF THAT COUNTRY.
Before installing the valve, remove the plastic guards covering the flanges and the connection couplings.
ATTENTION
During commissioning of the valve or during operation, do not touch the body which could
conduct heat if the fluid used is at high temperature.
ATTENTION
During operation, do not touch the stem as it is in movement, it may be hot and could catch
your finger or clothing.
ATTENTION
Before starting any maintenance operations, ensure the valve is not pressurised and/or hot.
ATTENTION
Do not remove the descriptive label fastened to the yoke since it reports the serial number,
data which is indispensable for tracking the valve over time.
Please refer to this number for supply of spare parts
Do not remove the stroke label which is the main reference for valve calibration
Non-compliance with the main safety information, the standards in force and the assembly instructions can:
Cause danger for the safety of those carrying out manoeuvres or for third parties.
Damage the valve or adjacent objects.
Compromise the efficient operation of the valve.
2 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
2.1
– ASSEMBLY ON THE SYSTEM (GENERAL NOTES)
Before assembling the valve, accurately clean the tubing with compressed air, water or another blowing fluid to eliminate
foreign bodies, welding waste and various dirt that could damage the sealing surfaces of the valve.
ATTENTION
Assemble the valve with the direction arrow imprinted on the body in the same direction
as the tubing fluid.
Assembly is however recommended
of a “Y” filter (our “FY” series) on the tubing, upstream of the valve.
Assembly of the valve can be carried out in the vertical or horizontal position. You are however advised to assemble
vertically to prevent wear of the trim due to the weight and relevant rubbing. For safety reasons, vertical upside down
assembly is not recommended.
ATTENTION
It is forbidden to weigh the valve down with foreign objects. It is compulsory to protect the
valve from external stress.

– PNEUMATIC VALVES TYPE 2000-2100-2600-2700-5000-5100-5600-5700-5800
If the valve is fitted with a reducer filter, it is preferred that it is assembled vertically to promote condensate drainage
using the specific deaerator.
ATTENTION
If the valve is fitted with instrumentation (pilot positioner, etc.) pay particular attention to
assembly of the piping since each strike could cause damage to the accessories or they could lose
calibration.
ATTENTION
If the valve is fitted with a case handwheel for emergency manual control, ensure that during
automatic operation it is in the complete standby position, to avoid mechanically obstructing the stroke of
the valve that could be limited.
