Applicability

Caution
To help prevent injury to personnel or damage to equip-
ment, please read this section completely before per-
forming any operations.
1. Valve pressure ratings are based on many vari-
ables, including valve series and size, as well as
body, seat and bolt material. Verify that application
does not exceed the pressure or temperature rat-
ing on the nameplate.
2. ALWAYS depressurize the line with the valve in the
OPEN position before disassembly. Cycle valve in
depressurized line before removing valve.
3. Wear protective equipment and take appropriate
precautions to safeguard against injury caused by
the discharge of trapped fluids.
4. Use only Marwin recommended spare parts for
maintenance.
5. To ensure safety and maintain warranty, never
modify valve in any way without prior approval from
Marwin.
Storage
A petroleum-based oil (silicone free) is used as lubrica-
tion on all internal surfaces. This may be removed with a
solvent if found objectionable. All valves are adequately
packed in a strong cardboard case in such a way as to
avoid any possible damage during transport and storage.
Caution: if ball valves are not destined for immediate
use, the following precautions should be taken:
1. If possible, leave the ball valves in their packing
cases during the period of storage.
2. Ball valves must remain in open position during this time.
3. In order to prevent damage, protective plastic
covers on valve ends should not be removed until
immediately prior to installation.
4. It is advisable to store the valves in waterproof
conditions. Ball valves should be protected to safe-
guard against humidity, moisture, dust, dirt sand,
mud, salt spray and seawater.
5. All valves complete with actuators are to be stored
in dry conditions.
6. Valves to be stored for a long period of time should
be checked by the quality control personnel every
six months; every three months when valves are
automated.
Maintenance During Storage Period
 Internal surface should be inspected to check for
dust or other foreign objects.
 Rust or dust must be removed by cleaning with
proper solvent.
 After cleaning, ball valves must be lubricated with
an adequate lubricant.
