Installation
DO NOT use this product outside the recommended operating pressure,
temperature and other specification ranges. Improper use may result in
such hazards as damage to the product or malfunctions which may
lead to serious accidents. Local regulations may restrict the use of this
product to below the conditions quoted.
Use hoisting equipment for heavy objects (weighing approximately
20 kg or more). Failure to do so may result in back strain or other injury if
the object should fall.
Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with
product outlets. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from the
discharge of fluids.
Do not use excessive force when connecting threaded pipes to the
product. Over-tightening may cause breakage leading to fluid discharge,
which may cause burns or other injury.
Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, and adjustment should
be done only by trained maintenance personnel.
1. Mounting position
The valve can be mounted in any position. However, strictly observe the limitations
resulting from the type of actuator used.
The valve must be installed free of stress. If necessary, support the pipelines near
the connections.
Do not install supports on the valve or on the actuator!
Thoroughly flush the pipeline prior to installation of the valve!
2. Strainer, bypass
We recommend that you install a Strainer upstream of the valve. We also
recommend that you install a shut-off valve both upstream of the strainer and
downstream of the control valve as well as a bypass line so that the plant need not
be shut down for maintenance routines.
