7 Confirm there are suitable piping lengths upstream
and downstream of the valve installation site in order
to minimize a sudden pressure surge in the flow.
8 Confirm removal of all hazards and ensure appropriate
protective measures are in place.
9 Confirm flow direction to ensure the correct valve
installation. Flow direction is indicated by the arrow on
the valve body.
10 Confirm that the air supply and instrument signal
lines are dry and clear of dirt and oil.
11 Confirm the valve is grounded in order to prevent an
electrical discharge.
12 Throttling control valves are typically equipped with
a pneumatic actuator and valve positioner. Refer to
the appropriate positioner manual for connections
and maximum air supplies.

Absence of suitable piping lengths can create critical operating
conditions and cause unacceptable levels of noise and
vibration.

Improper flow direction causes critical changes to operating
conditions that may damage the control valve.
At a minimum, the instrument air must conform to ISA- 7.0.01-
1996 (ISO 8573-1 Compressed Air - Class 2) requirement or
those of the accessory manufacturer.
Noncompliance may result in electrical discharges.
The air supply must be limited to less than 87 psig (6 bar)
per the actuator serial plate. An air filter regulator should be
installed to ensure that the supply pressure to the pneumatic
actuator does not exceed the air supply pressure indicated on
the EU serial plate.
