    3. Installation Note: Before actioning any installation observe the ‘Safety information’ in Section 1. Referring to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, name-plate and Technical Information Sheet, check that the product is suitable for the intended installation: Check materials, pressure and temperature and their maximum values.
  • Page 8: Operation

    This action prevents any force being applied to open a valve, which is already fully open, resulting in damage to the stem, bellows unit or other components. Spirax Sarco bellows sealed isolation valves are fitted with a position indicator, which can be found on the stem, and should align with the (+) or (-) on the bonnet support pillars.
  • Page 9 When handwheels A and B are closed and drain port C is opened there will be an initial discharge as the valve depressurises. If there should be any visible discharge after a short period, consult Spirax Sarco Service Department. Note: Handwheels should always be opened slowly to avoid system shocks.

    6. Maintenance Note: Before actioning any maintenance programme observe the ‘Safety information’ in Section 1. Warning The body/bonnet gaskets (11a and 11b) contain a thin stainless steel support ring which may cause physical injury if not handled and disposed of carefully. 6.1 General information Before undertaking any maintenance on the valve, ensure any pressure is isolated and safely vented to atmospheric pressure.
  • Page 11 Step 3 Depressurise the valve body and establish isolation integrity Step 4 Depressurise the downstream system Step 5 It is now safe to maintain the downstream system Return to Step 1 Please note: The Spirax SafeBloc is shown with the bellows sealed bleed valve option.
