Installation Notes
- Permissible Installation Orientation: The ball valve can be installed upright to horizontal. It may not be installed in a hanging position (spindle pointing downwards).
- Water Quality Requirements: Must adhere to VDI 2035 specifications. To ensure long-term functionality, valves must be kept free from particle debris. Installing a suitable strainer is recommended.
- Servicing: Maintenance-free ball valves and rotary actuators. Isolate the rotary actuator from the power supply before service work. Switch off pumps in the piping system, close slide valves, and reduce system pressure to ambient levels. Return the system to service only after proper reassembly and refilling by trained personnel.
- Flow Direction: Comply with the specified direction of flow indicated by an arrow on the housing to prevent valve damage. Ensure the ball is correctly positioned (marking on the spindle).
