The Fluorine-lined Ball Valve should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated room and is prohibited from being stacked.
The passage ends of the Fluorine-lined Ball Valve must be sealed to prevent foreign objects from entering the interior and damaging the sealing components. Additionally, it should be avoided to come into contact with oils or other flammable materials.
3. Do not apply any oil-based substances to the outer surface of the fluoro-lined or rubber isolating layer to prevent rubber swelling, which may affect the service life of the fluoro-lined ball valve.
During storage or inactivation, the handwheel should be rotated counterclockwise to keep the fluorine-lined ball valve slightly open, preventing the seal from losing elasticity due to long-term pressure.
During the transportation of fluoroelastomer ball valves, the hoisting ropes must not be tied to the handwheel or valve stem. It is also prohibited to collide with other metals or hard objects to prevent damage to the parts and linings.
6. The Fluorine-lined Ball Valve, excluding its unsuitability for vacuum pipelines, can be installed at any position along the pipeline for bidirectional movement. However, it is essential to ensure ease of operation and maintenance.
During installation, ensure the valve body cavity is thoroughly cleaned to prevent dirt from causing blockages or damaging the sealing components, and check that all bolts are evenly and securely tightened.
Prior to installation, carefully verify that the operating conditions of the pipeline and the medium are in compliance with the applicable scope of this valve regulation, to prevent incorrect selection and avoid unnecessary losses, as well as potential accidents.
When manually operating the fluoroelastomer ball valve, do not use an auxiliary lever to open or close the valve to prevent excessive torque from damaging the drive parts or sealing surfaces.
