STOP!
1.5 Installation
DANGER: Before installation check the order-no, serial-
no. and/or the tag-no. to ensure that the valve/actuator
is correct for the intended application.
Do not insulate extensions that are provided for hot or
cold services.
Pipelines must be correctly aligned to ensure that the
valve is not fitted under tension.
Fire protection must be provided by the user.
1.6 Spare parts
Use only FLOWSERVE original spare parts. FLOWSERVE
cannot accept responsibility for any damages that
occur from using spare parts or fastening materials
from other manufactures. If FLOWSERVE products
(especially sealing materials) have been on store
for longer periods check these for corrosion or
deterioration before using these products. Fire
protection for FLOWSERVE products must be provided
by the end user.
1.7 Service / repair
To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to
products, safety terms must be strictly adhered to.
Modifying this product, substituting nonfactory parts,
or using maintenance procedures other than outlined
in this instruction could drastically affect performance
and be hazardous to personnel and equipment, and may
void existing warranties. Between actuator and valve
there are moving parts. To avoid injury FLOWSERVE
provides pinch-point-protection in the form of cover
plates, especially where side-mounted positioners
are fitted. If these plates are removed for inspection,
service or repair special attention is required. After
completing work the cover plates must be refitted.
Apart from the operating instructions and the obligatory
accident prevention directives valid in the country of
use, all recognised regulations for safety and good
engineering practices must be followed.
WARNING: Before products are returned to FLOWSERVE
for repair or service FLOWSERVE must be provided
previously with a certificate which confirms that
the product has been decontaminated and is clean.
FLOWSERVE will not accept deliveries if a certificate
has not been provided (a form can be obtained from
FLOWSERVE).
1.8 Storage
In most cases FLOWSERVE products are manufactured
from stainless steel. Products not manufactured
from stainless steel are provided with an epoxy resin
coating. This means that FLOWSERVE products
are well protected from corrosion. Nevertheless
FLOWSERVE products must be stored adequately
in a clean, dry environment. Plastic caps are fitted
to protect the flange faces to prevent the ingress of
foreign materials. These caps should not be removed
until the valve is actually mounted into the system.
1.9 Valve and actuator variations
These instructions cannot claim to cover all details of
all possible product variations, nor in particular can
they provide information for every possible example of
installation, operation or maintenance. This means that
the instructions normally include only the directions to
be followed by qualified personal where the product
is being used for is defined purpose. If there are any
uncertainties in this respect particularly in the event
of missing product-related information, clarification
must be obtained via the appropriate FLOWSERVE
sales office.
2 UNPACKING

check all delivered valves and accessories using this
packing slip.
