4.3 INSTALLATION POSITION AVK double eccentric butterfly valves in all nominal widths can be installed with shafts in horizontal position (with gear facing upwards or downwards).

Prior to operation, the functional parts of the valve must be opened and closed completely at least once to ensure a trouble-free operation. Warning: It is not allowed to operate the AVK double eccentric butterfly valve in a dry state more than once due to the risk of damaging the disc seals and/or increasing the torques.
