6 Transport and storage

A fitting must be handled, transported and stored with care:
» The fitting must be transported and stored in its protective packaging until it is installed.
The fitting has moving internal parts.
Even packaged fittings should be transported smoothly without any shocks.
caution
In the case of a fitting that can no longer be transported by hand, the lifting gear must be
attached to a suitable position on the housing (branches).
Under no circumstances may the lifting gear be affixed to any attachments (adjusting
caution
screw, handwheel or accessories).
Pilot-controlled pressure-regulating valves in a sandwich design with slotted discs, in
particular, are especially sensitive to transport damage and dirt.
caution Die The protective packaging on the body must not be damaged during transport and
storage.
» When the fitting is stored prior to installation, it should be kept in closed rooms and protected against
harmful influences such as dirt, moisture and frost.
» In special cases, the fitting is supplied free of oil, grease or silicone and is marked accordingly. A fitting such
as this must not come into contact with oil/grease/silicone during storage and handling (particularly when
subsequently unpacked).
» A MANKENBERG fitting generally has functional and/or sealing parts made of elastomer materials. These
cannot be stored for an unlimited period.
ISO 2230 describes the storage conditions for elastomers in detail and specifies the
permissible storage period.
Functional and sealing parts must be replaced well before the storage period expires.
note
They are available from MANKENBERG as a "service set". See also section
help [Page 17].
MANKENBERG fittings of small and medium nominal diameters are largely made of stainless
steel (high-alloy CrNiMo steel).
If, under exceptional circumstances, fittings are stored in a unpacked state, they must be
note
protected against ferritic dust to avoid corrosion.
The fitting is generally not capable of standing alone:
The spring module may have a greater weight/volume than the basic body with its pipe
note connections.
Handle with care so that the fitting does not tip over during transport/storage..
» Pressure-regulating valves are generally supplied with a slackened spring. The spring must not be
pretensioned by means of the adjusting screw until after it has been installed, during initial start-up.
