3. Unloading and storage
Check that the contents of the delivery is as
ordered. Check that the valve and related equip-
ment have not been damaged during transpor-
tation.
Store the valve carefully before installation, pref-
erably in a well-ventilated, dry space,
on a shelf or a wooden grid to protect it from
rising damp (see figure 5).
Protect bare metal surfaces, shaft parts,
and flange surfaces with anti-corrosive agent
before storage.
The valve must be transported to the installation
site in a sturdy package. Do not remove the flow
port protectors before installation. Protect the
valve from sand, dust, and other impurities.
The valve must always be lifted by its lifting lugs
and upper neck (see Figures 3 and 4). The valve
or valve assembly must not be lifted from the
actuator (see Figure 2). Even light knocks may
damage the actuator or affect the actuator and
valve adjustments.
NOTE:
Take the weight of the valve into
account when handling it.
When delivered, the valve will be in the closed
position. During storage, the valve must be
lightly closed.
Maximum recommended storage time is two
years. If the valve is stored for more than two
years, it should be operated and cleaned yearly.
Packaging:
Vexve's products are protected during transpor-
tation with special packaging. The packaging

Recycling and disposal
Nearly all parts of the valve are made of recy-
clable material. The material type is marked on
most parts. The valve is delivered with a material
list, and separate recycling and disposal instruc-
tions are available from the manufacturer. The
valve can also be returned to the manufacturer
for recycling and disposal against a fee.
