4.3.1

Transporting the valve

The control valve can be transported using
lifting equipment (e.g. crane or forklift).
Î Leave the control valve in its transport
container or on the pallet to transport it.
Î Observe the transport instructions.
Transport instructions
− Protect the control valve against external
influences (e.g. impact).
− Do not damage the corrosion protection
(paint, surface coatings). Repair any
damage immediately.
− Protect the piping and any mounted
valve accessories against damage.
− Protect the control valve against moisture
and dirt.
− Observe the permissible temperature
range (see 'Technical data' in the 'Design
and principle of operation' section).

Lifting the valve

To install a large valve into the pipeline, use
lifting equipment (e.g. crane or forklift) to lift
it.
Lifting instructions
− Use a hook with safety latch (see
Fig. 4-1) to secure the slings from slip-

ping off the hook during lifting and
transporting.
− Secure slings against slipping.
− Make sure the slings can be removed
from the valve once it has been installed
into the pipeline.
− Prevent the control valve from tilting or
tipping over.
− Do not leave loads suspended when in-
terrupting work for longer periods of
time.
− Make sure that the axis of the pipeline is
always horizontal during lifting and the
axis of the plug stem is always vertical.
− Make sure that the additional sling be-
tween the lashing point on the actuator
and rigging equipment (hook, shackle
etc.) does not bear any load when lifting
valves with an actuator that has a lifting
eyelet/eyebolt on it. The sling only pro-
tects the control valve from tilting while
being lifted. Before lifting the control
valve, tighten the sling.
1. With Type 3271 or 3277: carefully
guide two slings around the flange and
attach them to the rigging equipment of
the crane or forklift. Make sure that the
actuator stem and valve accessories are
not damaged.
For actuator versions with lifting eyelet,
attach an additional sling to the lifting
eyelet of the actuator and to the rigging
equipment of the crane or forklift.
With Type 3379: carefully guide two
slings around the actuator. Secure the
