installing and performing maintenance as required on Valdisk

thoroughly review this bulletin prior to installing, operating, or

To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to valve

parts, WARNING and CAUTION notes must be strictly

adhered to. Modifying this product, substituting non-

factory parts, or using maintenance procedures other

than outlined could drastically affect performance, be

hazardous to personnel and equipment, and may void

existing warranties.

WARNING: Standard industry safety practices must be ad-

hered to when working on this, or any other, process control

product. Specifically, personal protective and lifting devices

must be used as warranted.

Note: Selecting the proper fastener material is the responsibility

of the customer. Typically, the supplier does not know what

the valve service conditions or environment may be. Valtek's

standard body bolting material is B7/2H. B8 (stainless steel) is

optional for applications above 800

0

F and with stainless steel

or alloy body valves. The customer therefore must consider

the material's resistance to stress corrosion cracking in addi-

tion to general corrosion. As with any mechanical equipment,

periodic inspection and maintenance is required. For more

information about fastener materials, contact your local Valtek
representative or factory.

Unpacking

1. While unpacking the valve, check the packing list against

the materials received. Lists describing the valve and

accessories are included in each shipping container.

2. When lifting the valve from the shipping container, posi-

tion lifting straps to avoid damage to tubing and mounted

accessories. Valves up through 14-inch may be lifted by

the actuator lifting ring. On larger valves, lift the valve

using lifting straps or hook through the yoke legs and

outer end of the body.

3. In the event of shipping damage, contact your shipper

immediately.

4. Should any problem arise, contact your Valtek representa-

tive.
