following precautions before you start work on
the valve:
1. Personnel making any adjustments to the
valves should utilize equipment and clothing
normally used to work with the process where
the valve is installed.
2. The line must be depressurized, drained and
vented before installing the valve.
3. Handling and installation of all valves,
operators and actuators must be carried
out by personnel trained in all aspects of
installation and manual/mechanical handling
techniques.
4. Ensure the valve pressure/temperature
limitations marked on the identification label
are above or equal to service conditions.

Storage
when valves are to be stored for some time
before being fitted, storage should be in the
original delivery crates with any waterproof
lining and/or desiccant remaining in place.
Storage should be off the ground in a clean, dry,
indoor area. if storage is for a period exceeding
six months the desiccant bags (if supplied)
should be changed at this interval.
protection
Ktm Hindle valves are delivered with protection
according to customer's specification, or in
accordance with the Quality assurance manual,
to protect the valve seats and closure member
from damage. wrapping and/or covers should
be left in place until immediately before fitting
to the pipe.
Selection
ensure the valve's materials of construction
and pressure/temperature limits shown on
the identification plate are suitable for the
process fluid and conditions. if in doubt contact
Ktm Hindle.

1. Ktm Hindle Series 300 valves are
bi-directional as standard and may be fitted
in either direction.
2. installation may be carried out with stem
displaced through any angle permitted by
the bolting.
3. remove protective covers from valve faces.
4. ensure that mating flanges and gaskets are
clean and undamaged.
5. Should there be any possibility of abrasive
particles (weld slag, sand etc.) within the
piping system, this could damage valve
seating/ball. the system will need to be
flushed clean.
6. ensure mating pipe flanges are aligned
correctly. bolting should be easily inserted
through mating flange holes.
7. Fit the valve into pipework ensuring easy
access of the lever/handwheel.
8. tighten the flange bolts in a diagonal pattern.

Scope
Ktm Hindle Series 300 valves both manual and
actuated. For special service designs, typically
cryogenic see separate instructions.
operation
all standard manually operated valves are
'clockwise to close'. the closed position is
indicated by either the handlever or indicator
arrow being at 90° to the pipe/valve bore axis.
routine maintenance
no routine maintenance is required
other than periodic inspection to ensure
satisfactory operation and sealing. any sign
of leakage from the gland packing should be
addressed immediately by depressurizing
the valve and tightening the gland nut.
if no further adjustment is possible, or
if seat or joint leakage is suspected, the
valve will require a complete overhaul.
