3 Safety instructions

3.1 General precaution

The same safety regulations apply to a fitting as to the system into which it is installed. These instructions only
give those safety recommendations that have to be additionally observed for the fitting.

3.2 Special safety instructions for the plant operator

The following requirements for the intended use of a valve are not the responsibility of the manufacturer but
have to be guaranteed by the user:
» The valve may only be employed for the purpose described in section
» Only competent specialist personnel may install, operate and service the valve. Competent as defined in
these instructions refers to persons who, because of their training, specialist knowledge and professional
experience, are capable of correctly assessing and properly executing the work with which they are
entrusted and of recognizing and rectifying hazards.
» The pipeline system must be properly designed and installed so that the valve can be mounted and
operated without any tension.
» The valve must be properly installed in the correct mounting position (condensate outlet at the bottom).
» The separator is only applicable for gases / steam with a solid content clearly lower than the liquid content:
This valve is not a dust separator.
» The drainage of the condensate from the separator must be provided by the customer.
» The usual flow rates should not be exceeded in the pipeline section during continuous operation, and
abnormal operating conditions such as vibrations, unusually high flow rates, etc. should be avoided or – if
unavoidable – clarified with the manufacturer in advance.
» The prevailing operating conditions must comply with the limits of the design data stated in the Mankenberg
order confirmation.
» The corrosion protection for the valve must be adapted to the local environmental conditions.
» The valve must not be wrapped in thermal insulation.
Detailed notes are provided on some of these prerequisites in the following sections.

3.3 Special hazards

Before a fitting is removed from the system or before a fitting is dismantled but partially
remains in place, the pressure in the system on both the inlet and outlet side must be
completely reduced so that there is no uncontrolled flow of the medium out of the system.

fitting is removed. Caution is required with residues that might continue flowing.
If a fitting is removed from a system with a toxic medium and is taken out of the plant:
it must be properly decontaminated before repair.
