MOUNTING
This manual should be read and properly understood before mounting. All personnel working with the device must be
familiar with the safety and warning instructions in this document.
MOUNTING DIRECTION
The valve must be mounted so that the arrow on the top of the valve or on the inlet pipe, follows the flow of the media.
Those valves designed for up- and downstream pressure, RVL and RVM-TG series are bi-directional and have no
specified mounting direction.
When mounted the gate valve must not lean more than 45 degrees from vertical in any direction. Violating this can
result in reduced watertightness, blockage of moving parts and permanent damage to the valve. If a mounting position
exceeding 45 degrees is needed contact Wapro for options.
