Lifting and installation conditions
Description
Follow local procedures that meet the standards for soil/floor
loading and product/piping support.
WARNING!
Only personnel properly trained in the safe practices of rigging and lifting should lift
valves.
Prior to use, visually inspect the slings for any signs of abrasion or other damage.
Refer to the sling manufacturer for inspection procedures specific to the sling you
are using.
Never attempt to lift the valve by wrapping slings around the visual indicator,
position indicator pilots, needle valves, accessories or tubing.
Never attempt to lift the valve using only one sling around the valve. Always use two
slings wrapped around each end of the body as shown below. Use a choker style
sling with a spreader bar.
Only use slings with ratings that exceed the weight to be lifted. Reference all safety
standards for safety factors that must be included when calculating the load rating.
CAUTION!
Never apply shock loads to the valve. Always lift the control valve gradually. If shock
loading occurs, inspect the slings per manufacturer's procedures before reuse.
