The valves should preferably be installed in horizontal pipes. When installing them in vertical pipes, make sure that the flow direction is upward. In the unpressurised condition, the valve disc will then be closed by its own weight. Fig. 2: Vertical and horizontal installation position of COBRA-TDC01/03 DANGER Dead-end valve...
▷ Connect the pipes to the valve without transmitting any stresses or strains. ▷ Take structural measures to prevent any piping forces from being transmitted to the valve. ▷ Avoid mechanical loads beyond normal levels, e.g. piping forces, moments and vibrations. COBRA-TDC01/03 16 of 32...
5.5 Insulation WARNING Cold/hot piping and/or valve Risk of thermal injury! ▷ Insulate the valve. ▷ Fit warning signs. For any insulation fitted on the valve observe the following: ▪ The valve's function must not be impaired. COBRA-TDC01/03 17 of 32...
▪ The material's chemical resistance and stability under load have been checked. 6.1.2 Functional test The following functions must be checked: 1. Check the shut-off function of the installed valve prior to commissioning/start- up by opening and closing the valve several times. 6.2 Operating limits COBRA-TDC01/03 18 of 32...
6.4 Returning to service For returning the equipment to service, observe the sections on commissioning/start- up and the operating limits (ð Section 6.2, Page 18) .
