2 Safety Unsafe practices and other important information are emphasised in this manual. Warnings are emphasised by means of special signs. 2.1 Important information Always read the manual before using the valve! WARNING Indicates that special procedures must be followed to avoid serious personal injury. CAUTION Indicates that special procedures must be followed to avoid damage to the valve.
2 Safety All warnings in the manual are summarised on this page. Pay special attention to the instructions below so that severe personal injury and/or damage to the valve are avoided. 2.3 Safety precautions Installation: Always read the technical data thoroughly. (See chapter 6 Technical data) Always release compressed air after use.
The valve is supplied as separate parts as standard (for welding). 3.1 Unpacking/delivery Step 1 CAUTION Alfa Laval cannot be held responsible for incorrect unpacking. Check the delivery for: 1. Complete valve, shut off valve, tank outlet, manual shut off or manual tank outlet valve (see steps 2 and 3) 2.
Always read the technical data thoroughly. See chapter 6 Technical data. Always release compressed air after use. CAUTION Alfa Laval cannot be held responsible for incorrect installation. Step 2 Moving Never touch the moving parts if the actuator is supplied with parts! compressed air.

3 Installation Study the instructions carefully and pay special attention to the warnings! The valve has welding ends and a clamp fitting on the bottom as standard but can also be supplied with clamp fittings on the port ends. Step 4 It is recommended to install the valve so that the flow is against the closing direction to avoid water hammer.

- At the end of use, the equipment should be recycled according to relevant, local regulations. Apart from the equipment itself, any hazardous residues from the process liquid must be considered and dealt with in a proper manner. When in doubt, or in the absence of local regulations, please contact the local Alfa Laval sales company.
Always read the technical data thoroughly. See chapter 6 Technical data. Always release compressed air after use. CAUTION Alfa Laval cannot be held responsible for incorrect operation. Step 2 Never touch the valve or pipelines when processing hot liquids or when sterilising.
4 Operation Pay attention to possible faults. Study the instructions carefully. The items refer to the Parts list and service kits section. 4.2 Troubleshooting Problem Possible cause Repair Manual valve does not open when 1. Diaphragm has stuck. 1. Inspect diaphragm and replace it if 2.

5 Maintenance Maintain the valve regularly. Study the instructions carefully and pay special attention to the warnings! Always keep spare rubber seals in stock. Check the valve for smooth operation after service. 5.1 General maintenance Step 1 NOTE All scrap must be stored/discharged in accordance with current rules/directives.

5 Maintenance Maintain the valve regularly. Study the instructions carefully and pay special attention to the warnings! Always keep spare rubber seals in stock. Check the valve for smooth operation after service. Below are some guidelines for maintenance and lubrication intervals. Please note that the guidelines are for normal working conditions in one shift.
5 Maintenance Study the instructions carefully. The items refer to the Parts list and service kits section. Handle scrap correctly. Man = Manually activated NC = Normally closed. A/A = Air/air activated. 5.2 Dismantling the valve Step 1 The actuator must be in the “open position” when dismantling the clamp. Danger! Always make sure that there is no product pressure in the pipeline before opening the valve.
5 Maintenance Study the instructions carefully. The items refer to the Parts list and service kits section. Handle scrap correctly. Man = Manually activated NC = Normally closed. A/A = Air/air activated. 5.3 Diaphragm replacement The diaphragm seals against the valve body seat while the valve is closed. The diaphragm also operates as a static seal. There are two sealing faces between the valve housing and the actuator.

5 Maintenance Study the instructions carefully. The items refer to the Parts list and service kits section. Handle scrap correctly. Man = Manually activated NC = Normally closed. A/A = Air/air activated. Diaphragm marking Fig. A Size 12.7 / ½ inch and 25 / 1 inch is “a snap connection”. The diaphragm must be all the way on, or it will be over-stretched and damaged in the closed position.
5 Maintenance Study the instructions carefully. The items refer to the Parts list and service kits section. Handle scrap correctly. Man = Manually activated NC = Normally closed. A/A = Air/air activated. 5.4 Assembly of valve Step 1 Start by fitting the diaphragm onto the actuator rod (see section 5.3 Diaphragm replacement ). Step 2 To fit the actuator onto the valve body, the actuator must be in the open position (diaphragm is then compressed) when assembling the valve.
5 Maintenance Study the instructions carefully. The items refer to the Parts list and service kits section. Handle scrap correctly. Man = Manually activated NC = Normally closed. A/A = Air/air activated. 5.5 Disassembly of actuator Step 1 Manual actuator The manually operated actuator can not be dismantled.

5 Maintenance Study the instructions carefully. The items refer to the Parts list and service kits section. Handle scrap correctly. Man = Manually activated NC = Normally closed. A/A = Air/air activated. Type NC: In the pneumatic actuator type NC ø12.7 mm / 1/2 inch there are no “spring guides” inside the housing. The actuator can only therefore be opened by the special tool “B”.
