Preparation For Installation - Samson 42-36 E Mounting And Operating Instructions

5.2 Preparation for installation

Valve, actuator and electric actuator can be
assembled before or after the valve has been
installed in the pipeline. We recommend first
installing the valve without the actuators into
the pipeline.
Before installation, make sure the following
conditions are met:
− The valve is clean.
− The valve, actuator, electric actuator and
all piping are not damaged.
− Install a strainer upstream of the regula-
tor.
− The valve data on the nameplate (type
designation, valve size, material, pres-
sure rating and temperature range)
match the plant conditions (size and
pressure rating of the pipeline, medium
temperature etc.). See the 'Markings on
the device' section for nameplate details.
− The requested or required additional fit-
tings (see the 'Design and principle of
operation' section) have been installed or
prepared as necessary before installing
the valve.

Proceed as follows:
Î Lay out the necessary material and tools
to have them ready during installation
work.
Î Flush the pipeline before installing the
regulator.
The plant operator is responsible for
cleaning the pipelines in the plant.
Î Check any mounted pressure gauges to
make sure they function properly.
Note
The plant operator is responsible for clean-
ing the pipelines in the plant.
Note
Any impurities carried along by the process
medium may impair the proper functioning
of the regulator. Therefore, we recommend
installing a strainer (e.g. SAMSON
Type 2 NI) upstream of the regulator.
