WARNING
Ensure the valves materials of construction
and pressure/temperature limits shown on the Read this first safety precautions
identification plate are suitable for the process Read & understand this instruction manual before installing, operating or performing
fluid and conditions. If in doubt contact the maintenance on Whessoe pressure/vacuum relief valve. Follow all precautions and warnings
manufacturer. noted herein when installing, operating or performing maintenance on this equipment.
1. Whessoe valves are NOT bi-directional and are therefore required to be installed in cohesion
with the direction of the flow. See individual product type for detailed installation instructions.
2. Remove protective covers from valve and end faces and any protection applied to the valve
stem (if applicable).
3. Valves are only suitable for fitting to horizontal or vertical pipelines
4. For flanged valves ensure mating flanges and gaskets are clean and undamaged.
5. Should there be any possibility of abrasive particles (weld, slag, sand etc) within the piping
system this could damage the valves seating areas. The system will need to be flushed clean.
6. Ensure mating pipe flanges are aligned correctly, bolting should be easily inserted through
mating flange holes.
Tighten the flange bolts in a diagonal pattern.
Scope
These instructions relate to manual and spring loaded valves. For individual product designs see
separate instructions.
Operation
See individual operating instructions
Routine Maintenance
Exposed, threaded, operating stems should have grease applied at regular intervals. Where other
routine maintenance is required, other than periodic inspection to ensure satisfactory operation
and sealing, please see individual product type. Any sign of leakage from the flange joint should be
addressed immediately by depressurising the valve and tightening the flange bolts gradually and
evenly. If no further adjustment is possible or hazardous leakage is suspected, the valve will require
a complete overhaul. This should be carried out after depressurisation and in accordance with the
relevant Whessoe Maintenance instruction*. Only Whessoe spares should be used.
Spare Parts
When spare parts are required, the customer should quote the valve size, serial number, the item
number and the material of the parts required. The valve size and serial number can be obtained
from the identification label. The item number and description can be obtained from the General
Arrangement drawing. Care should be taken to quote the correct material, as materials quoted are
for non-hazardous conditions.
