INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS TYPE BV10S & BV12S
Storage & Protection
1.
Always visually inspect the valves at reception to determine if any damage has occurred during
shipping. Inspect the body for cracks or holes. For proper operation of the valves, the seat and disc
seal must be undamaged and free of foreign material. If damage is discovered, contact Belven
immediately, indicating the location and extent of the damage found, photographs of the packing and
damages are appreciated.
The Belven valves must be stored with the disc cracked off the seat (approx..10°). The connections
must be covered to protect the flange faces and internals for dust, dirt, oil or other impurities.
Store the valves indoors at a cool temperature between -4°C and 30°C in a dry place that is fire
resistant, weather tight and well ventilated. No corrosive chemicals should be present.
When an electric- or pneumatic actuator is mounted on the valve we recommend that it should be
cycled approximately every 30 days.
Any spare parts for the valve shall be stored in the original packaging and under the same conditions
as the valve is stored.
For storage longer than 4 months, the storage container should be inspected every four (4) months to
ensure it is in good condition, and any additional protective coverings or materials are in working order.
Ensure all parts are plugged, and bare metal is covered with a suitable rust inhibitor. The seat should
be coated with a suitable lubricant.
Avoid storage under direct sun exposure.
Do not stack unpacked valves.
After a long-term storage clean the Belven valve, especially the sealing surfaces, control that the
rubber seat is not dried out and check the valve tightness before installation.
