5.0 Handling Requirements
Packed Valves
1. Crates: Lifting and handling of the packed valves
in crates will be carried out by a fork lift truck, by
means of the appropriate fork hitches.
2. Cases: The lifting of packed valves in cases will
be carried out in the lifting points and in the center
of gravity position which have been marked. The
transportation of all packed material must be carried
out safely and following the local safety regulations.
Unpacked Valves
1. Lifting and handling of valves should be carried
out by using appropriate means and observing the
carrying limits. Handling must be carried out on
pallets, protecting all machined surfaces to avoid
any damage.
2. With large bore valves, rigging the load must be
carried out by using the appropriate tools to prevent
the valve from falling or moving during the lifting
and handling.

storage must be carried out in a controlled manner as
follows:
1. Valves must be stored in a closed, clean and dry
environment.
2. Valve disc to be in closed position and the body
protection.
3. Periodically the valves should be checked to ensure
the above conditions are maintained.
