The Butterfly Valve should be located as per the approved drawings, also make sure that it is located where it
will be readily accessible for operation, inspection and maintenance.
During Installation make sure that the valve disc does not interfere with the operation of other systems
components immediately adjacent to the butterfly valve.
When a valve “closes hard”, it may be due to debris lodged in the sealing area. This may be corrected by backing-
off the hand wheel and closing it again, several times if necessary. The valve should never be forced to seat by
applying a wrench to the hand wheel as this may distort the valve components or scare the sealing surfaces.
The inlet and outlet piping adjacent to the valve should be properly supported to prevent excessive stress on the
valve body. The valve should not be used to force a pipeline into position as this may result in distortion of the
valve body.
