Series Series KNAR/F, KNARP/F, KNAR-D/F, KNARP-D/F, KNAR-S/F, KNARP-S/F ASME 6 Page 10 Installation Examine valve for in-transit damage, damaged ball valves must not be installed. 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. Ensure that a remotely actuated actuator cannot be accidentally switched on. 6.
Series Series KNAR/F, KNARP/F, KNAR-D/F, KNARP-D/F, KNAR-S/F, KNARP-S/F ASME 7.3 Shutdown The local regulations are to be observed when dismantling the valve. Prior to undoing the flange connection ensure, that the plant is depressurised and emtied. Move V-control ball/stem unit into the "half-open position". 8 Page 11 Prior to starting any repair work, the valve is to be thoroughly cleaned. Even if the valve has been properly emtied and rinsed, residual medium may still be found in the valve.
