Document No.:KE-2010-04 Sheet:13/40 Ⅳ Valve Installation Cautions for Installation ● Check the valve specifications with the catalogs and/or attached nameplate. The substantial part and seat materials determine the characteristic of service fluid and service range of pressure and temperature. Services beyond the valve specifications will cause the leakage problem or other accidents.
Page 17
Document No.:KE-2010-04 Sheet:14/40 Ⅳ Valve Installation Cautions for Piping ● NEVER use the flange gasket for piping, which may cause the leakage. ● DO NOT forcibly tuck the valve into too narrow space between pipes when piping, which may cause the deformation of the rubber seat and the leakage. ●...

Document No.:KE-2010-04 Sheet:22/40 Ⅵ Periodic Inspection Maintenance and Inspection. When piping facilities where the valves are installed are to be set open for periodic maintenance and inspection, carry out the seat and external leakage test and operation test as required. If any signs of seat/external leakage are found, overhaul and maker sure it is satisfactory.
