2 UNPACKING
2.1 Each delivery includes a packing slip. When unpack-
ing, 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-tempera-
ture applications, in order to keep the distance be-
tween 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 (see following table).
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 con-
nections for supply pressure and signal are clearly
marked. Series 4 actuators and positioners are suit-
able 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 re-
quired. 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 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 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.
