Storage
The problems to be considered in regard to storage are generally the same as those previously
discussed relative to preparation for transport. The time element is important as conditions that would
not be seriously harmful for a period of a few days could result in need for costly reconditioning if
extended over weeks or months.
Valve end protectors should not be removed unless necessary for inspection and installation.
Protection against weather should be provided. Ideally, valves should be kept indoors with actual valve
temperatures always higher than the dew point.
Valves should be supported off the ground and/or pavement and protected by a watertight cover if
outdoor storage is unavoidable.
