Valves can be stored for up to 12 months under the following conditions:
▶ Observe the storage temperature range indicated in "Data sheet 24751-XE".
▶ The relative air humidity must not exceed 65 %.
▶ The storage rooms must provide 100 % UV protection.
▶ No ozone formation may occur near the storage facility.
▶ The storage facilities must be free from etching substances and gases.
▶ Do not store the valve outdoors but in a well-ventilated room.
▶ Protect the valve against humidity, particularly ground humidity. Store the valve
on a shelf or on a pallet.
▶ Store the valve protected against impacts and sliding and do not stack it.
▶ Store the valve in the original packaging or comparable packaging in order to
protect it from dust and dirt.
▶ All connections at the valve must be closed with cap elements.
▶ After opening the transport packaging, it must be closed properly again for
storage. Use the original packaging for storage.
1. Check the complete valve for damages and corrosion prior to installation.
2. In a test run, check the valve for correct function and leak-tightness.
After expiry of the maximum storage time, we recommend having the valve
checked by your competent Bosch Rexroth service. In case of questions regarding
spare parts, please contact the Bosch Rexroth service responsible for your valve,
see chapter 10.6 "Spare parts".
If a dismounted valve is to be stored, it has to be preserved for protection against
corrosion for the duration of storage.
Bosch Rexroth recommends the following procedure:
1. Clean the valve; refer to chapter 10.1 "Cleaning and care".
2. Close all connections so that they are airtight.
3. Pack the valve with a desiccant air-tightly in corrosion protection film.
4. Store the valve protected against shocks.
▶ In each case, please observe any applicable provisions and laws regarding the
handling of substances hazardous to water or to health.
