Notes for assembly

♦ The flexible inlay 521 expands during assembly.
Do not cut off the overhang, but push back into the
lower and upper part of the shell 120.
♦ Before tightning the body screws 914/1 align the
disc/stem unit 221 centrally in the closed position.
♦ Mark the position of the disc/stem unit 221 against
body lining 409 at the hub, so permitting switching
only to this point during later test switching.
♦ With disc/stem unit in closed position, tighten the
body screws 914/1 until the gap between the upper
and lower part of the shell 120 is ca. 5 mm.
♦ Open the valve several times counterclockwise
(when viewing the stem unit) and close again in
the opposite direction. A sealing edge can form in
this way.
Never switch in the other direction of
rotation over the sealing edge!
♦ Tighten the body bolts 1-2 mm when disc in closed
position.
♦ Repeat the previously described process once or
twice.
♦ When finally tightening the body bolts, pay
attention to the torques provided in Section 1.2.

9.2.1 Assembly of the valve

During assembly of the valve the shell halves are
screwed together in reverse sequence.
The screw heads are then sealed again with:
