When handling this type of valves please pay attention to the following points: Do not attach the crane directly to the valve actuator. The valves are supplied with lifting lugs for that purpose and due to the valve weight the actuator could be easily damaged. Do not lift the valve by the valve bore. This can cause damages on the seating surfaces and sealings. SAFETY WARNING Check that the crane is rated to carry the weight of the valve. Make sure that the valve is correctly secured. During the assembling and dismounting it is recommended to lift the valve with soft straps. > To avoid personal injury or damage to the property from the release of process fluid: - Those in charge of handling and maintenance of the valve must be qualified and trained in valve operations. - User appropriate personal protection equipment (gloves, safety shoes, glasses, helmet). - Shut of all operating lines to the valve and place a warning sign. - Isolate the valve completely from the process. - Release process pressure. - Drain the process fluid from the valve. Before installation inspect the valve body and components for any damage that may have occurred during shipping or storage. Make sure the internal cavities within the valve body are clean. Inspect the pipeline and mating flanges making sure the pipe is free of foreign material and that the flanges are clean. As standard the valve is for one direction flow and there is an arrow on the body pointing to the flow direction. C.M.O.

It should be noted that the direction of the flow and the pressure do not always coincide. Special care need to the taken to keep the correct distance (gap) between the mating flanges and the correct alignment and parallelism. The wrong situation of the mating flanges can cause deformations in the body which can lead to difficulties in operation. It is very important to ensure plainness and parallelism of the mating flanges to avoid a leakage to the outside and avoid deformations of the valve. On the other hand, and as in most of the butterfly valves, keep in mind that the valve must be...

The only maintenance required on this type of valve is to change the...

Note: During the assembling of the new sealing joint it is recommended to apply VaselineӔ on the sealing area to make the assembling easier and to provide and smooth operation of the valve (do not use oil, neither grease).
