2 UNPACKING
2.1 Each delivery includes a packing slip. When
unpacking, check all delivered valves and accessories
using this packing slip.
2.2 Larger valves can be lifted using slings on the yoke
rods or, if present, on the lugs provided for this
purpose. If slings are used, attach them so that the
outer tubing or attaching parts are not damaged.
WARNING: If slings are used, be aware that the cen-
tre of gravity of the valve may be above the lifting
point. In this case, secure or support the valve against
rotating, to prevent damage or personnel injury.
2.3 Report transport damage to the carrier immediately.
2.4 In case of discrepancies, contact your nearest
FLOWSERVE sales office.
3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Clean tubing prior to installing.
3.2 If possible, install the valve in an upright position
(actuator on top), to ease maintenance. An upright
installation position is important with low-
temperature applications, in order to keep the
distance between the packing material and the
medium as large as possible. The packing material
then retains the ambient temperature as much as
possible.
NOTE: Do not insulate extension bonnets that are pro-
vided for hot or cold services
3.3 Make sure that sufficient overhead clearance above
the actuator is maintained, to allow for disassembly
of plug from the valve body.
3.4 After installing, check direction of flow again. The
direction of flow is shown by the arrow on the
housing.
3.5 If the valve is to be welded into the line, make sure
that the valve is shielded from excessive heat.
3.6 Connect supply pressure and signal lines. Control
valves are supplied with a positioner. The end
connections for supply pressure and signal are clearly
marked. Series 4 actuators and positioners are
suitable for max. 4.2 bar (60 psi) supply pressure. If
the supply pressure exceeds the pressure specified
on the nameplate, a pressure reducing station is
required. If instrument air is not available, install an
oil separator/air filter in the air inlet line. All
connections must be leak free.
WARNING: Prevent other items of equipment from
making mechanical contact with the actuator housing.
4 QUICK CHECK
Before operating, check the valve as follows:
4.1 Open and close the valve, and observe the movement
of the actuator stem. The movement must be smooth
and linear.
4.2 Check for maximum stroke through change of signal
1.6 Spare parts
Use only Kämmer original spare parts. Kämmer can-
not accept responsibility for any damages that occur
from using spare parts or fastening materials from
other manufactures. If Kämmer products (especially
sealing materials) have been on store for longer
periods check these for corrosion or deterior-ation
before using these products. Fire protection for
Kämmer products must be provided by the end user.
1.7 Service / repair
To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to
products, safety terms must be strictly adhered to.
Modifying this product, substituting nonfactory parts,
or using maintenance procedures other than outlined
in this instruction could drastically affect perform-
ance and be hazardous to personnel and equipment,
and may void existing warranties. Between actuator
and valve there are moving parts. To avoid injury
Flowserve provides pinch-point-protection in the form
of cover plates, especially where side-mounted posi-
tioners are fitted. If these plates are removed for
inspection, service or repair special attention is re-
quired. After completing work the cover plates must
be refitted.
Apart from the operating instructions and the obliga-
tory accident prevention directives valid in the country
of use, all recognised regulations for safety and good
engineering practices must be followed.
WARNING:
Before products are returned to Kämmer
for repair or service Kämmer must be provided with a
certificate which confirms that the product has been
decontaminated and is clean. Kämmer will not accept
deliveries if a certificate has not been provided (a form
can be obtained from Kämmer).
1.8 Storage
In most cases Kämmer Products are manufactured
from stainless steel. Products not manufactured from
stainless steel are provided with an epoxy resin coat-
ing. This means that Kämmer products are well pro-
tected from corrosion. Nevertheless, Kämmer prod-
ucts must be stored adequately in a clean, dry envi-
ronment. Plastic caps are fitted to protect the flange
faces and to prevent the ingress of foreign materials.
These caps should not be removed until the valve is
actually mounted into the system.
1.9 Valve and actuator variations
These instructions cannot claim to cover all details of
all possible product variations, nor in particular can
they provide information for every possible example
of installation, operation or maintenance. This means
that the instructions normally include only the direc-
tions to be followed by qualified personal where the
product is being used for is defined purpose. If there
are any uncertainties in this respect particularly in the
event of missing product-related information, clarifi-
cation must be obtained via the appropriate
FLOWSERVE sales office.
