2. Installation
Valve and actuator are assembled by the
manufacturer.
For more details on the actuator used,
please refer to the corresponding mounting
and operating instructions.
2.1 Mounting position
The valve can be mounted in any position.
However, you are required to strictly ob-
serve the limitations inherent to the used ac-
tuator type.
CAUTION!
The valve must be installed free of stress
and free of excessive vibrations. If necess-
ary, support the pipelines near the connec-
tions. Do not install supports on the valve or
on the actuator. Thoroughly flush the
pipeline prior to installation of the valve.
2.2 Strainer, bypass
We recommend that you install a SAMSON
Type 2 Strainer upstream of the valve.
In addition to a bypass line, shut-off valves
should be installed both upstream of the
strainer and downstream of the control
valve so that the plant need not be shut
down for maintenance routines.
3. Operation
Operating instructions depend on the actua-
tor used. Please refer to the mounting and
operating instructions for the corresponding
actuator.
4. Maintenance replacing parts
The control valve is subject to wear and
tear, especially at the seat, plug, metal bel-
lows and packing box.
Depending on the application conditions
that prevail, the valve must be inspected at
appropriately scheduled intervals to prevent
any problems before they occur.
If external leakage occurs, the metal bellows
or packing box may be damaged. If the
valve does not seal properly, this may be
because tight shut-off is prevented by dirt or
other foreign particles present between the seat
and plug or due to a damaged seating surface.
It is recommended that the parts be
removed, thoroughly cleaned and replaced
as necessary.
CAUTION!
If you intend carrying out mainten-
ance work on the valve, first depress-
urize the relevant plant section and,
depending on the process medium,
drain it as well.
Let the plant section cool down to
reach ambient temperature, if
necessary.
Prior to starting any work, discon-
nect the electric or pneumatic con-
trol signal for the actuator. On pneu-
matic actuators, additionally remove
the signal pressure line.
As the process medium cannot drain
completely out of the valve, be aware
that some of the process medium
could still be trapped in the valve.
We recommend that you remove the
valve from the pipeline.
