Valve destination Valve types BV, D2G, HG, HL, HP, HX, JTV, MP, MV, RKO, RKS, SLF, SLV, SLH, SLX, TV, XV and WB are destined – after installation between flange(s) in a pipe system – to shut off, to open or to control the flow within the admissible pressure/temperature limits.
Valve marking Each valve is labelled as follows: Additional: Markings on casted valve body: 0045 DN XXXX: (mm) nominal diameter PN XX: (bar) pressure class of valve body i.e. GGG50 valve body material Max PS Valve body/differential: 10/10 BAR Ser.No: Serial number consisting of year –...
Specifically note that threaded hole on top of pneumatic cylinder type EC, is only for handling the cylinder itself. See figure 2. Fig.2 Installation/functional check This instruction includes safety recommendations for foreseeable risks at installation into a (pipe) system. The user is responsible to complete this instruction with warning notes for system-specific aspects.
• Valves types XV, HL, HG, HP, HX, BV, WB, D2G , SLV, SLF, SLH and SLX are bi-directional and can therefore be installed independent of the pressure ratio in any direction in the pipe line.

All Valve types of cast grey iron material (WB): Extra caution is necessary when installation due to the brittel material. Place the valve between flanges. First tighten the through going bolts so the flanges is close to the valve to not more than maximum torque as below. Then end by tighten the bolts for blind holes. Lbf.ft Tighten the bolts first manually and then evenly and crosswise, for a uniform load of the gasket, with a torque as required by the gasket manufacturer.
Only for Valves with electric actuator: Ensure that the actuator motor stops by the signal of the limit switch for closed and open position of the actuator. Exceptional force may damage the valve. The signal of the torque switch may be used for signal for faulted conditions.
Disassemble the valve in following steps: Depressurise the pipe section and drain it completely. Disconnect all electric and/or pneumatic/hydraulic connections. Fasten and use soft straps if necessary (see also Fig.1 in section A5). Make sure not to damage the valve, gate, gate guards or any accessory.
1. The gland box packing together with the gland makes sure that no media reaches surrounding environment where the gate exit the valve body. When the gland box packing (braids) shall be changed, the gland bolts must be loosened and the the pipe section shall be depressurised and empty.
