General safety instructions 1 General safety instructions − The regulator is to be mounted, started up or serviced by fully trained and qualified personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices are to be observed. Make sure employees or third persons are not exposed to any danger. − All safety instructions and warnings given in these mounting and operating instructions, particularly those concerning installation, start-up and mainte- nance, must be strictly observed.
Nominal pressure PN 16 to 40 · Suitable for liquids, gases and vapors up to 350 °C The valve closes when the downstream pressure rises. NOTICE The Type 41-23 Pressure Reducing Valve is not a safety valve. If necessary, a suitable overpressure protection must be installed on site in the plant section. 2.1 Transportation and storage The regulator must be carefully handled, transported and stored.

Note: Conversion from chromate coating to iridescent passivation We at SAMSON are converting the surface treatment of passivated steel parts in our production. As a result, you may receive a device assembled from parts that have been subjected to different surface treatment methods. This means that the surfaces of some parts show different reflections.
