Tightening Torque Specifications: The document provides tables with maximum tightening torque values for different DN sizes and materials, ensuring proper installation and operation.

Safety and Warning Instructions: Safety guidelines are crucial to prevent injuries or material losses. The document stresses the importance of using the products for their intended purpose and ensuring installation by trained personnel.

Intended Use: BFV types 567/578 are designed to block or convey media within approved pressure and temperature limits. They are not recommended for media with solid matter or cavitation.

Disassembly and Assembly: Detailed steps for disassembling and assembling the valves are provided, highlighting the importance of using original parts and following correct assembly procedures.

Maintenance: Regular inspections are recommended after 5000 cycles to check for leaks and ensure functionality. Periodic operation of the valves is advised to maintain performance.

Troubleshooting: Common issues such as improper fitting, high actuating torque, and leaks are addressed with solutions like adjusting installation, replacing gaskets, and consulting the manufacturer if necessary.

Specifications: The document specifies the use of SFA/BFA with fluted sealing face and even sealing face. It provides torque values for flange screw fixation in a criss-cross pattern and confirms compliance with EC Directive 2014/68/EU.

Lubricant Selection: Only silicone or polyol-based greases are permissible for gasket lubrication to prevent material damage. Mineral oil or Vaseline-based lubricants should be avoided.

Spare Parts: Spare parts can be obtained from local GF sales companies or online. The document notes that technical data are subject to change and do not guarantee specific characteristics or durability.

EC Declaration of Conformity: The manufacturer declares conformity with DIN EN ISO 16136 for pressure equipment, and the CE emblem is applicable for valves larger than DN25.

After being installed into a piping system, butterfly valves type 567 / 578 are exclusively meant to block or convey media within the approved pressure and temperature limits, and to regulate the flow. The maximum time of operation is 25 years. The valve is intended to be used within the chemical stability of the entire valve and all its components. Butterfly valves are not recommended for media with solid matters. Cavitation has to be avoided during normal operation. In case of degreasing or jamming media, butterfly valves can only be used after consulting a GF Piping Systems representative. • Use type 567 only as intermediate butterfly valve. • Use type 578 as intermediate or end-of-line butterfly valve. See «Georg Fischer’s planning criteria» for approved pressure areas of all approved temperatures for all housing materials. These documents also contain the „list of chemical resistance" for the different valve materials. 2. Regarding this document This document contains all necessary information for the installation, operation and service of the product. • Georg Fischer planning fundamentals • Instruction manual for expanding the BFV 567 / 578 for further functions: Inappropriate lubricants! Material damage due to inappropriate lubricants that corrode the materials that butterfly valves and/or gaskets are made of. ► Make sure that no lubricants are used that are based on mineral oil or Vaseline (petrolatum). ► Observe special manufacturer's notice for paint-compatible butterfly valves. ► Lubricate all gaskets with grease based on silicone or polyol. Other lubricants are not permissible. Spare parts are available at your local GF sales company or on the Internet at www.gfps.com. The technical data are not binding.
