Transport, storage and disposal
For all transport work, observe generally
accepted engineering practice and the
accident prevention regulations.
The valve is supplied with flange caps. Do
not remove them until just before installation.
They protect the plastic surfaces against dirt
and mechanical damage.
Handle the goods being transported with care. During
transport protect the valve against impacts and
collisions.
Directly after receipt of the goods, check the
consignment for completeness and any in-transit
damage.
Do not damage paint protection.
5.1 Storage
If the valve is not installed immediately after delivery,
store them properly.
The valves be stored in a dry, vibration-free and well-
ventilated room at as constant a temperature as
possible.
Protect elastomers against UV light.
In general, a storage period of 10 years should not be
exceeded.
5.2 Return consignments
Valves which have conveyed aggressive or
toxic media rinse and clean before being
returned to the manufacturer's works.
It is
imperative

on the field of
application with the return consignment.
Pre-printed forms are enclosed with the installation
and operating manual.
Safety precautions and decontamination measures
are to be mentioned.
5.3 Disposal
