1 Using Flowserve Valves, Actuators and Acces-
sories Correctly
1.1 General usage
The following instructions are designed to assist in
unpacking, installing and performing maintenance
as required on FLOWSERVE products. Product us-
ers and maintenance personnel should thoroughly
review this bulletin prior to installing, operating or
performing any maintenance.
In most cases FLOWSERVE valves, actuators and
accessories are designed for specific applications
with regard to medium, pressure and temperature.
For this reason they should not be used in other ap-
plications without first contacting the manufacturer.
1.2 Terms concerning safety
The safety terms DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION
and NOTE are used in these instructions to highlight
particular dangers and/or to provide additional infor-
mation on aspects that may not be readily apparent.
DANGER: indicates that death, severe personal
injury and/or substantial property damage will occur
if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING: indicates that death, severe personal
injury and/or substantial property damage can occur
if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION: indicates that minor personal injury and/
or property damage can occur if proper precautions
are not taken.
NOTE: indicates and provides additional technical
information, which may not be very obvious even
to qualified personnel.
Compliance with other, not particularly emphasised
notes, with regard to transport, assembly, operation and
maintenance and with regard to technical documentation
(e.g. in the operating instruction, product documentation
or on the product itself) is essential, in order to avoid
faults, which in themselves might directly or indirectly
cause severe personal injury or property damage.
1.3 Protective clothing
FLOWSERVE products are often used in problematic
applications (e.g. extremely high pressures, dangerous,
toxic or corrosive mediums). In particular valves with
bellows seals point to such applications. When per-
forming service, inspection or repair operations always
ensure, that the valve and actuator are depressurised and
that the valve has been cleaned and is free from harmful
substances. In such cases pay particular attention to
personal protection (protective clothing, gloves, glasses
etc.).
1.4 Qualified personnel
Qualified personnel are people who, on account of their
training, experience and instruction and their knowledge
of relevant standards, specifications, accident prevention
regulations and operating conditions, have been author-
ised by those responsible for the safety of the plant to
perform the necessary work and who can recognise and
avoid possible dangers.
1.5 Installation
DANGER: Before installation check the order-no.,
serial-no. and/or the tag-no. to ensure that the valve/
actuator is correct for the intended application.
Do not insulate extensions that are provided for hot or
cold services.
Pipelines must be correctly aligned to ensure that the
valve is not fitted under tension.
Fire protection must be provided by the user.
1.6 Spare parts
Use only FLOWSERVE original spare parts. FLOWSERVE
cannot accept responsibility for any damages that oc-
cur from using spare parts or fastening materials from
other manufactures. If FLOWSERVE products (especially
sealing materials) have been on store for longer periods
check these for corrosion or deterioration before using
these products. Fire protection for FLOWSERVE products
must be provided by the end user.
