11.1 Installing the valve
WARNING
The equipment is subject to
pressure!
Risk of severe injury or death!
®
Only work on depressurized
G
plant.
WARNING
Corrosive chemicals!
Risk of caustic burns!
®
Wear appropriate protective
G
gear when installing.
WARNING
Hot plant components!
Risk of burns!
®
Only work on plant that has
G
cooled down.
CAUTION
Never use the valve as a step or an aid
for climbing!
This entails the risk of slipping-off or
®
damaging the valve.
WARNING
Do not exceed the maximum

G
matching aligned pipes.
Direction of the working medium:

optional.
Mounting position of the valve:

optional.
Installation:
1. Ensure the suitability of the valve for
each respective use. The valve must
be appropriate for the piping system
operating conditions (medium, medium
concentration, temperature and
pressure) and the prevailing ambient
conditions. Check the technical data of
the valve and the materials.
2. Shut off pressure line or process
line.
3. Secure against re-commissioning.
4. WARNING Depressurize the plant or
plant component.
5. WARNING Completely drain the
plant (or plant component) and let it cool
down until the temperature is below the
media vaporization temperature and
scalding can be ruled out.
6. Correctly decontaminate, rinse and
