Commissioning BB 1..., BB 2... Dual-plate check valves BB... do not require special preparations prior to their commissioning. If the springs or O-rings of the dual-plate check valves BB 1... have been replaced check plugs for positive sealing and, if necessary, retighten them. Please refer to pages 22 to 24 for information on torques.
Maintenance GESTRA dual-plate check valves BB ... do not require any special maintenance. However, in certain cases (cf. “Commissioning”) it might be necessary to replace the springs or O-rings. Danger Note that springs are preloaded, which means that they can jump out of the plate body when the valve is being installed or removed.
