SOP 30 Cleaning check valves
1.
Place the valve in a suitable cleaning solution. Use an ultrasonic bath to
clean the valve. If malfunction persists, use steps 2 to 5 of this SOP
2. Using a knife or a similar, remove the valves seals carefully from the
housing.
3.
Remove the individual components by gently tapping the housing on the
table.
Valve ball and seating are adjusted in pairs. An exchange of these parts
leads to malfunction of the check valve. Therefore take care, that any
exchange will be avoided, when cleaning more than one check valves
simultaneously.
4.
Clean the individual parts. We recommend an ultrasonic bath.
5. Assemble the check valves in reverse order. Be sure to that the glossy
side of the seating is facing the valve ball, see Fig. 28 and assemble the
check valve properly. Wrong assembly can lead to damage and leakage
of the check valve.

6.
Put the check valves considering the flow direction into the bushing holes
3.5 and 3.6. Screw in the bushings by hand. Tighten the bushings
carefully with a spanner by about ½ - ¾ turns.
To avoid destruction of the ceramics tighten the screws of the ceramic
gasket holder (item {3.5} and {3.6}) with 8 Nm using a torque wrench.
