Also be sure to read this manual carefully before use and follow the instructions to be sure of using the product properly. The TLV motorized ball butterfly valve incorporates a ball butterfly valve, which offers a combination of the superior sealing properties of the ball valve and the smooth rotary movement of the butterfly valve, with an electric actuator.
The three types of cautionary items above are very important for safety: be sure to observe all of them as they relate to installation, use, maintenance and repair. Furthermore, TLV accepts no responsibility for any accidents or damage occurring as a result of failure to observe these precautions.
