4 Safety note for valves, certified to Clean Air Act (TA Luft)
On request, this valve can be supplied compliant with
the German Clean Air Code.
Certificate / Manufacturer Declaration Validity is
dependent on the operating instructions being read
and observed. In particular, servicing must be conducted at regular
intervals, and the bolted connections relevant for
tightness must be inspected and retightened if
necessary.
5 Transport and storage
It is imperative, for all transport work, to
observe generally accepted engineering
practice and the accident prevention
regulations.
The safety valve is supplied with flange caps.
Do not remove them until just before
installation. They protect the plastic surfaces
against dirt and mechanical damage.
Handle the goods being transported with care. During
transport the valve must be protected against impacts
and collisions.
Never transport the valve using the lifting lever
238.
See sectional drawing and details in Section 10.
Transport the valve upright in a box or on a pallet on a
soft surface and deposit gently on flat ground.
Directly after receipt of the goods, the consignment
must be checked for completeness and any in-transit
damage.
Do not damage epoxy-coating.
With the KSEA/F 4"/6" valves, a ring bolt 908/1 is
screwed into the lifting cap which facilitates transport.
It must be ensured that the ring bolt lies on the axis of
the discharge flange so that equilibrium is guaranteed
when the valve is lifted. See View W in Section 10.4.
5.1 Transport securing for KSEA/F
Fig. 1
Safety vales with set pressures 7,25 psi
(0,5 bar) are fitted at the works with a
transport fastening strap which holds the
stem in the axial direction
It pre-vents damage to the shut-off element as a result
of the stem shaking during transport. See Fig. 1 and
Section 6.7.
Fig. 2
Remove the safety wire between the lifting lever 238
and one connection screw of the lifting cap 513 /body
100 prior to commissioning.
See Section 6.6 and Fig. 2.
5.2 Storage
If the valve is not installed immediately after delivery,
it must be put into proper storage.
The product should be stored in a dry and vibration-
free, well ventilated room at as constant a
temperature as possible. Elastomers are to be
protected against UV light.
In general, a storage period of 10 years should not be
exceeded.
Store the valve in an upright position and secure it
from falling over! In case of prolonged storage
individual packing with a desiccant may be necessary.
Pay attention to local site.
