Installation Operating Instructions Ball Valve EK, FK, HK Installation ARGUS 5 Installation Ball valves are usually made to be connected to the pipework with a flange connection or as a welded connection. The connections, in particular the welding parameters, must comply with the design specification. The ball valve is designed for use under normal load in the pipework. Special operating conditions must be clearly specified in the customer requisition. In the case of deviations from these conditions, the manufacturer must be consulted. 5.1 Preparation for Installation The following points must be observed before installation: Pipework must be strong enough to safely bear the valve and its accessories. Verify if special support for the unit is needed Pipework must be cleaned before installation. There must be sufficient clearance above and to the side of the valve and/or attachments to permit maintenance, inspection or repair work without risk. Extensions and attachments that are used for heat removal or heating must not be insulated. If the ball valve is intended for regular manual operation, then a standing area must be provided for the operator on which the latter can safely apply the necessary forces. Observe possible flow direction! For unidirectional ball valves (special case), the flow direction is indicated by an arrow on the body. 5.2 Installing Flange Connection 1. Transport the ball valve to the assembly location using suitable lifting devices which are appropriate to the weight and the size of the ball valve (052-01) 2. Remove protective caps (052-02) 3.
