AFETY NSTRUCTIONS Risk of injury due to high temperatures Surfaces of the gauges and areas near the gauges heat up to the maximum permissible temperature and can cause severe burns if touched. • Check the danger of the medium. • Wear protective clothing including safety glasses.
AFETY NSTRUCTIONS Risk of injury due to heavy loads There is a risk of injury when handling large and/or heavy gauges. • Observe the load handling regulation. • Use lifting equipment to move heavy and bulky appliances. 2.3 Intended use Property damage caused by irregular use •...
ONTENTS OF THE PACKAGING 3 Contents of the packaging 3.1 Included In most cases, the valves are supplied as part of a gauge pre-assembled as a unit. Individual valves can also be supplied. 1. Valve in a pre-assembled unit or individual valve 2.
4 System Description 4.1 General IGEMA drain valves are largely maintenance-free and allow for easy handling. All IGEMA valves have metal seals; the valve spindle is sealed with a stuffing box packing. The shut-off valve designs range from a simple shut-off to a double shut-off.
AV525 with modified valve spindle and welded-on bracket with attached position switch. 5.5 AV251 The drain valve type AV251 is a double drain valve consisting of two AV250 type valves positioned one above the other. 5.6 AV560 / AV 570 The drain valve types AV560 and AV570 are double drain valves consisting of two AV540 or AV550 valves positioned one above the other.
ECHNICAL DATA 6 Technical data 6.1 Limitations of use Application limits AV250 / AV251 Pressure / temperature assignment PN250 according to EN12516-1 Class 1500 according to ASME B16.34 Application limits AV320 Pressure / temperature assignment PN320 according to EN12516-1 Class 2500 according to ASME B16.34...

SSEMBLY 7 Assembly 7.1 Version with flange • Observe the orientation of the gauge . • Check sealing surfaces for cleanliness • Assemble the flange connection between the gauge and the valve in accordance with the applicable standard 7.2 Version with welding sleeve ARNING Eye damage due to lack of personal protective equipment Lack of eye protection during welding leads to eye damage in working and bystanders.
SSEMBLY 7.3 Threaded version Fig.1 Figure 1: • Screw the drain valve with seal into the gauge body with a torque of 120 Nm. 7.4 Drain tubing Fig.1 Figure 1: • Mount tube Ø12x1mm (made of material P235GH) on site to the screw connection provided according to DIN 2353 (SW24) NVIRONMENT Danger to the environment due to escaping medium...
OMMISSIONING 8 Commissioning ARNING Risk of injury due to leaking medium Inflammatory, irritating and harmful substances can escape from the gauge and lead to skin injuries and burns. This danger is also to be expected in the case of an unpressurised cooled system.
OMMISSIONING 8.2 Commissioning at the same time as the boiler This type of commissioning is recommended by Igema GmbH due to the lower stress on the components. Commissioning at the same time as the boiler must be carried out in the same way for all gauge types.
Replaced spare parts that do not correspond to the characteristics of the original spare parts may cause damage to the gauge. • Only use original parts from Igema GmbH for replacement. Material damage due to insufficient or incorrect lubrication Lubrication of components with inadequate or incompatible lubricants can lead to material damage.
