INSTALLATION OF VALVE ASSEMBLY
This valve is shipped in the closed position.
In handling of the valve assembly, care should be taken to protect flange sealing
surfaces and disc sealing surfaces from abrasion. The assembly should be carefully
lifted by an adequately rated hoist utilizing nylon lifting straps or slings, or mount yoke
vertical lifting eye bolts. The approximate weight of the complete valve assembly is
shown on drawing. There are no special tools required to properly position and install
the valve assembly. Standard wrenches, mallets, alien drives, rigging, etc. are all that is
necessary to achieve successful installation.
The valve assembly is designed to be assembled between two (2) ANSI pipe flanges,
using flange gaskets compatible with operational conditions.
