3. Reception of consignments and storage Package Check that the content of the delivery corre- sponds to the order. Also check that the valve Vexve's products come in packages designed and related accessories were not damaged in for transportation. The packages are made from transit.
The end of the pipe to be connected must be cut straight and all sharp burrs must be removed carefully from the external and internal surfaces. Any impurities in the valve or pipe could damage the valve or its coupling heads. www.vexve.com...
Remove all burrs from the cut pipe using a tool Mark the correct installation depth on the pipe intended for the purpose. using the Vexve installation depth gauge. 6. Checking the coupling heads of the valve 3. Cleaning Clean any loose debris from the coupling head...

A closed area must not be allowed to arise between the valve and the cap plug because the valve may be damaged if the water expands in a closed area (for example, due to a change in temperature). www.vexve.com...
The measur- ing device determines the flow rate based on the pressure loss and the Kv value corresponding to the valve's pre-set value. Contact Vexve Oy for additional information on suitable flowmeters. www.vexve.com...
5. Maintenance Valves of Vexve X series are practically maintenance-free. The need for maintenance is significantly reduced by selecting the correct valve for the application and ensuring error-free installation, commissioning and use. Warning: When the valve is connected to the pipeline, the temperature of the external surface may be dangerously high.
