These procedures outline the general requirements for
storage of MOGAS valves.
TRANSPORT
Valves will be shipped in seaworthy export packed
wooden crates that are plastic lined.
Upon arrival at the site, inspect the general condition
of the valve (and actuator, if supplied) for any potential
shipping damage.
PRE-INSTALLATION STORAGE
Valves shall remain stored in their shipping crates, or
on their pallents, with the lids secured.
Valves are shipped with corrosion-resistant paint
and desiccant dries (dryer bags) for storage up to six
months.
For long-term storage, the internal parts of carbon
and alloy steel valves should be sprayed with a rust
preventative.
All protective covers and plastic liners should remain
in place.
REMOVING VALVE FROM SERVICE
Before the valve is removed from the line, it should be
placed in the
open
position to prevent further internal
damage to valve components.
The valve should be placed in a vertical position, or
raised at an angle. The bore of the valve should be
either steamed cleaned or power washed to remove
slurry and debris.
The valve should be allowed to drain and dry. A
petroleum-based rust inhibitor should be applied
through the bore of the valve immediately after the
valve is dry.
Flange protectors need to be secured to each end of
the valve to prevent any foreign debris from entering
the valve. It is recommended to place desiccant dryer
bags inside the valve before storage.
The valve should be stored in the vertical position, out
of the weather (inside), until repairs can be made.
REMOVE VALVE
Remove the valve (and actuator, if supplied) carefully
from the shipping crate or pallet using lifting lugs
or nylon straps around the
valve body
and sturdy
section of the actuator.
Do not
lift by the actuator
alone.
INSPECT VALVE
Inspect the general condition of the valve (and
actuator, if supplied) for any potential shipping
damage.
Review the valve manual, assembly drawing with the
bill of materials, and the actuator manual (if supplied)
shipped with the valve.
REMOVE PROTECTIVE COVERS
Remove protective covers from the valve ends.
Inspect internally for shipping debris or damage.
INSTALL OPERATOR
If the valve was ordered with a handlever or actuator
from MOGAS, it should arrive pre-assembled and
tested from the factory. If already assembled, proceed
to
Installation
(page 18) and continue with the valve
installation.
If the valve
does not
have a handlever or actuator
installed, you
must
install the appropriate adaptor
and handlever / actuator to open and close the valve
prior to valve installation. Proceed to
Install Operator
– Manual Adaption (Handlever)
(page 10) or
Install
Operator – Actuator Adaption
(page 14).
