WARNING

All RICHTER products are designed and manufactured to the

highest standards of workmanship and design and, as of the

printing of this document, they meet all applicable industry

standards.

These valves are available with components of various

materials and should be used only as directed in the product

catalog. Installation and maintenance must be performed by

qualified personnel.

 Do not operate the valves beyond the stated pressure

and temperature ratings!

Misuse, improper installation and improper mainten-

ance may result in personal injury and/or property

damage!

Use only valve components consistent with the

performance requirements and as directed in these

instructions.

 Failure to heed these operating instructions may void the

warranty!

 If a valve exhibits any indication of leakage, do not

operate! Isolate the valve and either repair or replace

the valve.

Keep for future use!

Series 6 KNA/F, KNAP/F, KNA-D/F, KNAP-D/F, KNA-S, KNAP-S, ASME Page 10 Installation Examine valve for in-transit damage, damaged ball valves must not be installed. Fig. 1 Al2O3-ball in closed position Before installation the valve and the connecting pipe must be carefully cleaned to remove any dirt, especially hard foreign matter. During installation, pay attention to the correct tightening torque, aligned pipes and tension-free assembly.

Series KNA/F, KNAP/F, KNA-D/F, KNAP-D/F, KNA-S, KNAP-S, ASME 7 Operation 7.1 Initial commissioning Normally, the ball valves have been tested for leaks with air or water. Prior to initial operation check body bolting. For torques see Section 1.2. Unless otherwise agreed, there could be residual amounts of water in the flow section of the ball valve; this could result in a possible reaction with the medium.

Series 9 KNA/F, KNAP/F, KNA-D/F, KNAP-D/F, KNA-S, KNAP-S, ASME Page 12 Maintenance All repair work is to be performed by qualified personnel using the appropriate tools. Generally recognised practice in mechanical engineering is to be observed. For the arrangement, designation and item numbers of all parts of the valve, see Section 10. Spare parts are to be ordered with all the details in acc. with the valve identification. Only original spare parts may be installed.

Series 9.3 KNA/F, KNAP/F, KNA-D/F, KNAP-D/F, KNA-S, KNAP-S, ASME Dismantling ball valve with ball and stem It is possible with a ball valve with ball and stem to replace the seat rings and ball without dismantling the entire ball valve. It is equally possible to remove the packing gland follower, spring gland follower and packing insert? without dismantling the body. The entire ball valve must merely be taken apart to remove the stem. For sectional drawings, see Section 10. 9.3.

Remove lever 203. Remove lever stop 577 and plug. 10 Check the fits of the coupling 804, bracket 510 and actuator 850. Mount bracket 510 with the opening at right angles to the direction of flow. Mount coupling 804 and actuator 850. Observe the actuator position in accordance with the actuator operating manual.

Safety Information / Declaration of No Objection Concerning the Contamination of Richter-Pumps, -Valves and Components 1 SCOPE AND PURPOSE Each entrepreneur (operator) carries the responsibility for the health and safety of his employees. This extends also to the personnel, who implements repairs with the operator or with the contractor. Enclosed declaration is for the information of the contractor concerning the possible contamination of the pumps, valves and component sent in for repair.
PAGE 27
Declaration about the Contamination of Richter Pumps, -Valves and Components The repair and/or maintenance of pumps, valves and components can only be implemented if a completely filled out declaration is available. If this is not the case, delay of the work will occur. If this declaration is not attached to the devices, which have to be repaired, the transmission can be rejected. Every aggregate has to have it’s own declaration.
