4 Transport and storage
4.1 Storage conditions
The valves, valve inserts or spare parts should be stored in a dry place, free of
vibrations and dust, and protected from light. To avoid damage, leave the
components in their original packaging if possible.
If, during transport or storage, the valve is going to be exposed to temperatures ≤
0°C, it must be dried beforehand and suitable measures must be taken to protect
it from damage.
Hint!
We recommend that the valve should be stored at a temperature of ≥ 5
°C for a period of 24 hours prior to any handling (disassembling the
housings / activation of actuators) so that any ice crystals formed by
condensation water can melt.
4.2 Transport
Fig.10
For transport, the following principles apply:
• When transporting the valve be sure to unscrew the control top and the switch
bar from the actuator (2) and use the screwed-in eye bolt (1), material no.
221-104.98, to lift the valve.
• Only use suitable lifting gear and slings for transporting the package units/
valves.
• Observe the pictograms on the package.
• Handle valves with care to avoid damage caused by impact or careless
loading and unloading. The outside synthetic materials are susceptible to
breaking.
•
Control tops must be protected from animal and vegetable fats.
• Only allow qualified staff to transport the valve.
• Movable parts must be properly secured.
