Eliminating suction problems (only for single ball
valves with PTFE ball seat)
For suction problems occurring during start up:
Exclude the possibility that there are foreign
–
bodies in the valve.
Place the valve on a stable surface.
–
Using a hammer (1) and a brass bar (2), gently
–
tap the PTFE ball seat above the valve ball -
see figure below.
Then with the valve in a damp condition allow it

The stroke control drive is calibrated to the capacity ordered ex-
