tension within the assembly.
5.2 Installation
WARNING
Removing of the hand lever!
A build-up of internal pressure may cause the valve pinion
to pop out, leading to injury and/ or damage.
 Before removing the hand lever, any internal operating
or test pressure must be released.
WARNING
Damage to property when using the ball valve as end of line!
If the ball valve is operated without union nut and insert at the closed and
the opened side, there can be malfunction of the valve.
 Make sure the valve is operated with both union nuts and inserts.
The best assembly position is horizontal.
1. Make a function test: close the ball valve by hand and open it again. Ball valves
which do not function properly must not be installed.
2. Built the ball valve always into the system in the opened position.
3. Make sure that pressure rating, type of connection and dimensions correspond
to the operating conditions.
4. Remove the ball valve from its original packaging immediately before
installation.
