When handling this type of gates please pay attention to the following points: The valves are supplied with lifting lugs to be lifted. Do not lift the gate 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 gate. Make sure that the gate is correctly secured. During the assembling and dismounting it is recommended to lift the gate 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 gate must...

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 gate operations. - Use appropriate personal protection equipment (gloves, safety shoes, glasses, helmet). - Lock out and tag out. - Isolate the working area. The only maintenance required on this type of valve is to change the sealing rubber joints. Two are located on the sides of the gate (to make the tightness with the frame sliding plates) and the other ones located on the bottom of the gate (to make the tightness...

Note: During the assembling of the new sealing joints 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).

Note: It is important to apply high resistance glue (similar to Loctite brand) on the contacts between the sealings. This will provide a strong adhesion between then and avoid leakages of water between them.
