Do You Know How To Install The American Standard Ball Valve
Ball Valve and flange gate valve belong to the same valve. The difference between the two is that the closing part of the ball valve is a ball, which is opened and closed by rotating the ball around the center line of the valve body.
① Remove the protective covers on both sides of the flange end and rinse and clean the valve when it is fully open.
② Before installation, test the whole machine according to the specified signal (electric or gas) (to avoid affecting the performance due to transportation vibration), and install it online after passing the test (wiring according to the electric actuator circuit diagram).
③ Before preparing for connection, flush and clean the remaining impurities in the pipeline (these substances may damage the valve seat and ball).
④ During installation, do not use the actuator part of the valve as a lifting point to avoid damage to the actuator and accessories.
⑤ This type of valve should be installed in the horizontal or vertical direction of the pipeline.
⑥ The pipeline near the installation point must not be drooping or subjected to external forces. Pipeline brackets or supports can be used to eliminate pipeline deviation.
⑦ After connecting the pipeline, cross-tighten the flange connection bolts with the specified torque.
