5.2 Installation instructions for welding
(refer to Fig. 2 page 5 )
Please note that only qualified persons using appropriate equipment and working in
accordance with technical rules are allowed to install fittings by welding.
The responsibility for this lies with the system owner.
Please refer to the catalogue sheet for information on type and instructions relating to
welding socket weld ends/butt weld ends.
When welding products to the pipeline system they should be adequately cooled to prevent
any adverse effect on the complete controller assembly (Pos. 24) or the sealing ring (Pos.
11 and 17). The heat-affected zone should be restricted to the immediate weld seam area!
Note pre- and post-welding heat treatment in accordance with Material Fact Sheet DIN EN
10222.

ATTENTION !
- Before putting the valve into operation, check material, pressure, temperature
and direction of flow.
- Regional safety instructions must be adhered to.
- Residues in piping and valves (dirt, weld beads, etc.) inevitably lead to leakage.
- Touching the valve when it is operating at high (> 50 °C) or low (< 0 °C) media
temperatures can cause injury.
Affix warning notice or protective insulation as appropriate!
Before putting a new plant into operation or restarting a plant after repairs or
modification, always make sure that:
