Malfunctions

Clogged strainer basket

Remove and dismantle entire strainer basket,
clean or replace and install again.

See Section 9.1 and 9.2.

Strainer basket sticks

If functional parts swell owing to the medium, it is
very difficult to remove the strainer basket.

If dismantling is not possible by pulling the unit
upwards, remove cover 106 and push the strainer
basket upwards from below.

Dismantling by pushing downwards is not possible
owing to the anti-torsion insert 219.

Flange connection ball valve/pipe is leaking

Retighten the flange screws to a tightening torque
according to Section 1.2. If this does not remedy
the leak, the recommended torques may be
exceeded by 10%.

If this also fails to stop the leak, dismantle and
inspect the valve.

Maintenance

All repair work is to be performed by qualified
personnel using the appropriate tools.

For the arrangement, designation and item
numbers of all parts of the valve, see Section 10.

Spare parts are to be ordered with all the details in
acc. with the valve identification.

Only original spare parts may be installed.

Make sure that the strainer is empty when
work is performed on it.

screws should be made in line with the operating
requirements.
For tightening torques, see Section 1.2.
