Installation
5.2.2
Pipeline routing
The inlet and outlet lengths vary depending
on the process medium and the flow condi-
tions in the valve. To ensure the regulator
functions properly, follow the installation in-
structions given below:
Î Observe the inlet and outlet lengths (see
Table 6). Contact SAMSON if the valve
conditions or state of the medium process
deviate.
Î Install the regulator free of stress and
with the least amount of vibrations as
possible. If necessary, attach supports to
the valve.
Î Install the regulator allowing sufficient
space to remove the actuator and valve
or to perform service and repair work on
them.
