8 Assembly and operation

Functional impairment of the solenoid valve by contamin-
ated media!
▶ The solenoid valve will cease to open or close if the con-
trol apertures are blocked or if the armature is blocked by
dirt.
The piping system should be cleaned before installing the
solenoid valve.
Fit a strainer with a mesh size of ≤ 0.25 mm in front of the
valve inlet if the media are contaminated.
Switch the solenoid valve at least once a month.
Destruction of the solenoid valve by freezable medium!
▶ The solenoid valve is not frost-protected.
Solenoid valves using freezable media should only be op-
erated above freezing point.
Danger from flow contrary to flow direction!
▶ Damage to the solenoid valve.
Only operate the solenoid valve in flow direction.
Take precautionary measures in case of expected reverse
flow (e.g. check valve).

8.1 Assembly

Do not use the solenoid coil as a lever
▶ If the solenoid coil is used as a lever, the solenoid coil
and bush could be destroyed.
Use only the spanner flats provided to screw the solenoid
valve to the piping.
Damage to the valve body
The solenoid valve may only be installed in aligned pipes
in order to avoid stresses in the valve body.
