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 pur-

pose. 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 centre

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.

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 pos-

sible. The packing material then retains the ambient

temperature as much as possible.

NOTE: Do not insulate extension bonnets that are

provided 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 (see following table).

3.4

If the valve is to be welded into the line, make sure

that the valve is shielded from excessive heat.

3.5

Connect supply pressure and signal lines. Control

valves are supplied with a positioner. The end con-

nections for supply pressure and signal are clearly

marked. Actuator and positioner are suitable for max.

4.2 bar (60 psi) supply pressure. If the supply pres-

sure 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.

1.6

Spare parts

Use only Kämmer original spare parts. Kämmer cannot

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 performance

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 positioners

are fitted. If these plates are removed for inspection,

service or repair special attention is required. After

completing work the cover plates must be refitted.

Apart from the operating instructions and the

obligatory 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

coating. This means that Kämmer products are well

protected from corrosion. Nevertheless Kämmer

products must be stored adequately in a clean, dry

environment. Plastic caps are fitted to protect the

flange faces 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 directions 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, clarification

must be obtained via the appropriate FLOWSERVE

sales office.
