It is the responsibility of the installer to consider these stresses and take adequate precautions to minimise them.

  • Page 6: Protective Clothing

    Ensure that any pressure is isolated and safely vented to atmospheric pressure before attempting to maintain the product, this is easily achieved by fitting Spirax Sarco depressurisation valves type DV (see separate literature for details) and consider double isolation (double block and bleed) and the locking or labelling of closed valves.

    Section 2.4, minimum withdrawal distance 'C'. 3.11 Welding into the pipeline - LCV4 and LCV6 socket weld connections. For specific weld procedures consult the relevant National and International welding standards. Note: If a trap is to discharge to atmosphere ensure it is to a safe place as the discharging fluid may be at a temperature of 100°C (212°F).

  • Page 23: Operation

    4. Commissioning After installation or maintenance ensure that the system is fully functional. Carry out tests on any alarms or protective devices. 5. Operation LCV check valves are opened by the pressure of the fluid and closed by the spring as soon as the flow ceases and before the reverse flow occurs.

  • Page 24: Spare Parts And Maintenance

    Always order spares by using the description of the LCV and Spare 1 or Spare 2. Example: 1 off LCV Internals kit – Spare 2, for a Spirax Sarco DN15 LCV4 lift check valve having flanged EN 1092 PN40 connections.
