General safety instructions Note: According to the ignition risk assessment performed in accordance with EN 13463-1: 2001, section 5.2, the non-electrical actuators and valves do not have their own po- tential ignition source even in the rare incident of an operating fault. As a result, they do not fall within the scope of Directive 94/9/EC.

Installation We recommend installing a shut-off valve both upstream of the strainer and down- stream of the valve to ensure that the plant does not need to be shut down for mainte- nance. In addition, install a bypass line. 4.5 Test connection Versions with bellows seal (Fig. 4) fitted with a test connection (G ) at the top flange al-...
