SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WAGATE GATE VALVES – SVL, RVL, SVL-T, SVM-TG & RVM-TG SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This manual should be read and properly understood before product commissioning. All personnel working with the device must be familiar with the safety and warning instructions in this document. STANDARDS/DIRECTIVES Our products are designed and manufactured in compliance to recognized standards and directives.
VALVE APPLICATIONS The following table shows the applicable uses of each valve type, as well as which types of operation is available. If a valve is used outside its intended application, proper function can´t be ensured, contact Wapro for advice. MODEL...
When mounted the gate valve must not lean more than 45 degrees from vertical in any direction. Violating this can result in reduced watertightness, blockage of moving parts and permanent damage to the valve. If a mounting position exceeding 45 degrees is needed contact Wapro for options.
SERVICE ACCESS To be able to perform proper repair and servicing of the valve, a volume directly above the head of the valve equal to the height of the valve body must be held free of other piping and components and so that it can be removed. SUPPORT DN 110-DN 315/NPS 4-NPS 12: Valves of these sizes are self-supporting and can be hung by their piping without further support.

MOUNTING IN GROUND All Wapro valves, except for those with actuators, can be mounted directly in soil. The valve should not be mounted deeper than half of the valves pressure rating. Example: for a valve rated for 1bar of water pressure/10 meters of water pressure the max depth in ground is 5 meters.
OPERATING DEVISES All Wapro valves are available with a diverse range of operating devices. Both for direct mounting on the valve as well as to extend the operation of the valve. Lengths are made to order. Note that as standard the valves come without any operating device.
COMMISSIONING These steps must be followed closely before first use. MECHANICAL SETUP Before first use retighten all bolts on the valve following the table shown. Tighten the bolts in the head starting in the middle and going around in a circular pattern. The bolts can have gotten loose under transport and storage due to fluctuations in temperature.
SVL, RVL & SVL-T To close the valve push gently on the valve handle until a natural resistance is met. The valve opening is fully closed slightly before reaching the end of the valves travel. Pressing hard on the handle will not improve valve performance and can lead to permanent damage.
Note that valves supplied with AUMA actuator will not be set up from the factory. To commission the valve either follow the commissioning steps in the AUMA specific manual supplied with the actuator or get the local branch of AUMA to carry out the commissioning. Contact Wapro for further advice. LOCAL ELECTRIC OPERATION To operate the valve using the selector switch [5] is moved into the “Local”...
INSTALLATION Please be aware that SVM-TG delivered with AUMA actuators are not pre-configured by Wapro. To commission the actuator together with the valves, the AUMA-specific manual should be used. Below is a chart that shows the number of rotations for opening/closing and the required torque to set the actuator for a given valve size. See table 12.1.

COMMISSIONING The valve can be operated locally or remotely controlled. For further information, please see s. 11. If the assembled valve is without outlet or inlet pipes, the responsibility for ensuring that there is no access to the SVM-TG damper plate during operation lies with the installer. MAINTENANCE When servicing and maintaining the assembled SVM-TG, it is crucial to ensure that the rotary switch (5) on the AUMA control panel is set to position 0 and that it is locked.
ELECTRIC OPERATION LINAK ACTUATOR, IF SUPPLIED COMMISSIONING The valve with actuator and controller is delivered ready to use with the basic setup already carried out. For more advised options, including remote control some setup is required. See the specific controller documentation for setup procedures.
0-40°C. For temperatures below freezing a lower viscosity grease is recommended. (Only applies to SVM-TG and RVM-TG sizes DN710/NPS28 and above) • Inspect the devise for visual signs of damage. If any significant damage is found, please contact Wapro for advice. EVERY 12 MONTHS •...
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Disassembly of valve to change internal components or gaskets. Note that this service must be done while the valve is not under pressure. To make the service easier, the valve should be fully open before starting. Remove the handwheel or any other operating device present. Loosen the screws in the head of the valve.
WAPRO A/S WARRANTY Wapro will remedy defects in material and/or workmanship in any new Wapro valve for a period of two (2) years from the documented date of purchase so long as the valve has been used in accordance with Wapro´s instructions and recommendations and under normal operating conditions.
Furthermore, Wapro declares that the Gate valve is manufactured and delivered in line with: FPC (Factory Product Control) FPC is made according to Wapro A/S FPC-movement and presser test for Wagate Gate Valves SVM-TG (rev. 1) _________________________________________________________________________________________ The person responsible to compile the technical file: Morten Skjold, Aggershusvej 7, DK-5450 Otterup, Denmark This declaration relates exclusively to the machinery in the state in which it was placed on the market, and excludes constructions applied and/or functional changes added subsequently by the final user.
