Transport, storage and packaging
3.1
Transport
The valve is transported in wooden box and must be kept in the original WEKA
packaging throughout the transport. Transport below -40 °C and/or above +80 °C is
not permitted.
3.2
Storage
The valves must be stored in a dry and dust-free environment. Storage below -40 °C
and/or above +80 °C is not permitted.
3.3
Packaging
Every valve is separately wrapped in transparent foil, either as one complete unit (housing with insert
completely mounted) or as individual units (housing, insert, additional components). The valve inlet and
outlet are covered by protective caps. To avoid unnecessary pollution, the packaging should only be
removed shortly before the product is needed for installation.
4.
Cleanliness
Prior to being packed, the valves are cleaned according to ISO 23208-2005, to be free of oil and grease.
Particularly during installation, cleanliness must be ensured. Even the smallest pollution may impair the
function and/or tightness of the valves.
The following rules must be observed during installation and maintenance.
•
The valve inlet and outlet must be covered by protective caps.
•
Disassembled components, such as actuator or inserts must be stored in PE
bags in a dry and dust-free place.
•
Open valve housings after removing the insert must be protected from ingress of
particles and other kinds of pollution.
