Beware of noise emissions! The valve may produce noise in the pipeline. The noise level depends on the application. It can be measured or calculated using Metso Nelprof computer software. Observe the relevant work environment regulations on noise emission. CAUTION: Beware of a very cold or hot valve! Fig.
2 L6 70 en Mounting into the pipeline Flush or blow the pipeline carefully before installing the valve. Foreign particles, such as sand or pieces of welding electrode, will damage the disc sealing surface and seat. The valve may be installed in any position and offers tight- ness in both directions (L6C/D, L6F/D).

Metso recom- mends inspecting the valves at least every five (5) years. The inspection and maintenance interval depends on the actual Insulation limit application and process condition.
2 L6 70 en NOTE: For safety reasons, replace pressure retaining bolting if the threads are damaged, have been heated, stretched or cor- roded. Removing the valve from the pipeline CAUTION: Do not dismantle the valve or remove it from the pipe- line while the valve is pressurized! It is generally most convenient to detach the actuator and its auxiliary devices (see Section 6), before removing the...
