Pressure/Temperature Rating
These valves are suitable for PN16 compression, PN16 Press-fit and PN25 threaded pressure ratings. They must
be installed in a piping system where the normal pressure and temperature do not exceed the above ratings.
If system testing will subject the valve to pressures in excess of the working pressure rating, this should be within
the test pressure for the body with the valve in the open position.
The maximum allowable pressure in valves as specified in the standards is for non-shock conditions. Water
hammer and impact for example, should be avoided.
If the limits of use specified in these instructions are exceeded or if the valve is used on applications for which it
was not designed, a potential hazard could result.
Layout and Siting
It should be considered at the design stage where valves will be located to give access for operation, adjustment,
maintenance and repair.
Valves must be provided with adequate support. Adjoining pipework must be supported to avoid the imposition of
pipeline strains on the valve body, which would impair its performance.
The Fig 100 and Fig 100.PF Series are bi-directional valves and can be installed in any flow direction.
The Fig 100HU may be installed in any orientation but attention should be paid to surrounding structures, ensuring
that the hose union connection may be easily accomplished and that the valve lever movement is not impaired.
Care is needed during installation to provide sufficient room to enable the valve to be operated.
In the interests of safety, valves installed on end-of-line service in the closed position with infrequent opening
should be fitted with a locking device on the operating mechanism. Alternatively, it should be fitted with a blanking
plug or cap on the downstream end connection of the valve.
