storage
important
Do not remove any identification or instruction
tags. For optimum protection, store valve
undercover.
Valves
Flange faces should be protected at all times
with wooden or heavy cardboard shields.
On iron bodied valves, lubricate threaded flange

Flange bolts
Caution
It is critical that flange bolts do not bottom out in
valve body otherwise valve damage will occur.
to determine bolt length for the blind holes
in the upper chest area of the valve, add
dimension 'r' + gasket + flange thickness + any
washers etc. (plus deflection cone and gasket
when used).
1. stud bolts can be used in the blind holes in
the chest area of the valve body to alleviate
the risk of flange bolts bottoming out.
2. Coating of flange bolt threads with an
anti-seize compound (loctite 729 etc.) is
recommended to prevent bolt seizure,
particularly when using s/s bolts with s/s
valves, or when using steel bolts in iron
valves.
