their openings. All inner and outer cast-iron surfaces of the gate valve are epoxy powder coated. The stem may be operated manually using a hand wheel or, in case of gate valves located underground, through a hood and gate valve casing, using a T socket. 2.2 MATERIALS This table lists the materials used in the construction of gate valves with soft seals.

4 ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION 4.1 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES The TYPE 3116 and TYPE 3126 threaded gate valves with soft seals can be installed in underground or surface pipelines both in horizontal or vertical orientation. The listed products are suitable for joining with threaded ends of pipelines with (thread) size equal to that of the valve threads.
4.3 OPERATION The gate valve shall be operated in accordance with all relevant requirements for cut-off valves, i.e. either in fully open or fully closed positions. Leaving the gate valve partially opened (or closed) may result in seal failure. To ensure full performance, switch the gate valve periodically (once a year), from fully open to fully closed. Exceeding the operating limits of the valve may result in damage that will not be covered by the suretyship granted by the manufacturer.
