4.4 Storing the ball valve

NOTE
Damage to the ball valve due to improper storage!
− Comply with the storage conditions.
− Avoid long storage periods.
− In the case of deviating storage conditions and a longer stor-
age period, contact PFEIFFER.
Info
PFEIFFER recommends checking the ball valve and the storage
conditions regularly during a longer storage period.
In the case of storage prior to installation, the ball valve
should normally be stored in a closed room where it is pro-
tected against harmful infl uences such as impacts, dirt or
moisture. A room temperature of 25°C ±15°C is recommend-
ed.
In particular, the actuator and the plastic lined sealing surfac-
es of the fl ange ends for the pipe connection may not be
damaged by mechanical or any other infl uences.
Do not stack the ball valves.
Prevent condensation in damp rooms. Use a desiccant or
heater.
The ball valve must be stored in its protective packaging
and/or with the protective caps on the connection ends.
Ball valves that weigh more than approx. 10 kg should be
stored on a pallet (or supported similarly).
Ball valves are usually delivered in a completely open posi-
tion. They must be stored in the position in which they were
delivered. The actuating device must not be actuated.
Do not place any objects on the ball valve.
