• Valve pipes and insides must be clear of any foreign bodies;
If the device is threaded:
• make sure that the pipe thread is not too long, to prevent damaging the body of the device when screwing it on;
If the device is flanged:
• make sure the inlet and outlet counter-flanges are perfectly coaxial and parallel in order to prevent unnecessary
mechanical stress to the body. Also calculate the space to insert the seal gasket;
• With regard to tightening operations, equip yourself with one or two calibrated torque wrenches or other controlled
locking tools;
• The safety regulations on handling loads in force in the country of installation must be complied with. If the device to
be installed exceeds the weight allowed, suitable mechanical equipment and adequate slings must be used. Necessary
precautions must be taken during the handling phases so as not to damage/ruin the external surface of the device;
• In accordance with EN 161 a suitable filter must be installed upstream of a gas closing safety device;
• With outdoor installation, it is advisable to provide a protective roof to prevent rain from damaging the electrical parts of
the device;
• Prior to carrying out any electrical wiring operations, make sure that the mains voltage matches the supply voltage indicated
on the product label;
• Cut out power prior to proceeding with wiring;
• According to the plant geometry, check the risk of explosive mixture arising inside the piping;
• If the solenoid valve is installed near other devices or as part of an assembly, compatibility between the solenoid
valve and this other device must be evaluated beforehand;
• Avoid installing the solenoid valve near surfaces that could be damaged by the coil temperature. ATTENTION:
the surface temperature could cause contact burns. If it is installed in a domestic environment, it must not be
accessible to unqualified personnel;
• The solenoid valve is suitable for installation in places at low risk of mechanical impact. Provide a protection against
impacts or accidental contacts if the solenoid valve is accessible to unqualified personnel.
3.2 - INSTALLATION (see examples in 3.4)
Threaded devices:
• Assemble the device by screwing it, with the due seals, onto the plant with pipes and/or fittings whose threads are consistent
with the connection being attach ed.
• Do not use the coil (3) as a lever to help you screw it on, only use the specific tool;
• The arrow, shown on the body (6) of the device, needs to be pointing towards the application;
Flanged devices:
• Assemble the device by flanging it, with the due seals, onto the plant with pipes whose flanges are consistent with the
connection being attached. The gaskets must be free from defects and must be centred between the flanges;
• If, after installing the gaskets, there is still an excessive space in between, do not try to reduce the said gap by excessively
tightening the bolts of the device;
• The arrow, shown on the body (6) of the device, needs to be pointing towards the application;
• Insert the relative washers inside the bolts in order to prevent damage to the flanges during tightening;
• When tightening, be careful not to "pinch" or damage the gasket;
• Tighten the nuts or bolts gradually, in a "cross" order (see the example below);
• Tighten them, first by 30%, then by 60%, and finally 100% of the maximum torque (see the table below according to
EN 13611);
• Tighten each nut and bolt again clockwise at least once, until the maximum torque has been achieved uniformly;
