IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY AND SAFETY
Replacement Parts
The use of parts and components other than those
supplied by Flowserve Corporation could severely
restrict the operation and performance of this valve.
Unauthorized modifications or substitution of
components can lead to valve failure due to
corrosion and/or premature failure of the substituted
parts.
Selection, Installation, Operation and
Maintenance
Flowserve Corporation has established industry
leader-ship in the design and manufacture of its
products. When properly selected, each product is
designed to perform its intended function safely
during its useful service life. However, it is
necessary that Flowserve’s customers be fully
aware of their responsibilities when using these
products.
Each Flowserve product may be used in numerous
applications under a wide variety of industrial
service conditions. Although Flowserve can, and
often does, provide general guidelines, it is
obviously not possible to provide application
specific data and warnings for all conceivable
applications. The purchaser/end user must therefore
assume the ultimate responsibility for the proper
selection, installation, operation and maintenance of
the products. Read the appropriate IOM before
installing, operating or repairing any valve. The
purchaser/end user should train its employees
and/or contractors in the safe use of the Flowserve
products in connection with the purchaser’s
manufacturing processes.
Flowserve will continue to provide its customers
with the best possible products and service
available. We do not recommend substituting
surplus or remanufactured valves over new
Flowserve valves or those repaired in an authorized
service center. Should you have any questions about
these provisions or about Flowserve’s products in
general, please contact your local Flowserve
representative, who will be happy to help.
Paying close attention to safety is always
extremely important. However, there are often
situations that require special attention. These
situations are indicated throughout this book by
the following symbols:
DANGER – Immediate hazards which WILL
result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING – Hazards or unsafe practices
which COULD result in severe personal injury
or death.
CAUTION – Hazards or unsafe practices which

NOTE: ALWAYS COORDINATE REPAIR ACTIVITY WITH OPERATIONS PERSONNEL, AND
