Installation
The installation procedure for Habonim ball valves is critical to ensuring both long life and satisfying
performance. Valves stored on site, awaiting installation, should be kept in their original packing, in dry
conditions, where damage will not occur (See Para. 4).
Before carrying out the installation, it is important to follow the basic procedures described below:
5.1.
General
5.1.1.
It is essential to flush the line prior to assembling any valve on the line.
5.1.2.
Carefully unpack the valve and check valve nameplate for identification of materials.
5.1.3.
Remove any special packing materials surrounding the valve.
5.1.4.
Check the valve for the flow direction indication marks. Appropriate care must be taken, to install the
valve for proper flow orientation.
5.1.5.
Inspect the valve interior through the end ports to determine it is clean and free from foreign matter
according to ASME G93-03E1.
5.1.6.
Cycle the valve and inspect any functionally significant features.
5.1.7.
Read all the literature and note any special warning tags or plates attached to the valve.
5.1.8.
Before installation check to insure that the flow line balls are in the fully open position in order to
prevent possible damage to the balls and seats. The valve performance depends on its original
conditions. At any stage do not leave the valve in the partially open position on either of the lines.
