Preparing Bolts Prior to Assembly
After the flange has been secured to the pipe, follow these steps to connect two flanges:
The suitability of the application should be verified prior to installation. Plastic piping systems must be properly designed, installed, operated, and maintained in compliance with established standards and best practices for plastic piping.
WARNING: The piping system must be designed and installed without placing stress or directional force on any of the components. Pipes must be accurately cut and installed to eliminate any stress caused by bending, tension, or misalignment. Proper support must be provided for the entire piping system.
DO NOT try to forcefully close any gaps
without ensuring that one side of the system connection can move freely. Adjust the valve position as needed to allow proper alignment.
⚠️ LUBRICATION CAUTION: Certain lubricants — including vegetable-based oils — are known to cause stress cracking in thermoplastic materials. Changes in lubricant formulations by manufacturers may affect the compatibility of materials that were previously considered safe, which is beyond our control
NOT SUITABLE FOR USE WITH COMPRESSED AIR OR GAS
⚠️ WARNING: Never use compressed air or gas to pressure test any PVC or CPVC thermoplastic piping systems. Also, avoid using air- or gas-powered devices to purge or clear the pipelines. These actions can cause the piping or system components to shatter violently, potentially leading to serious injury or even death.
All air should be completely removed from the system during the initial fluid filling process. Pressure testing must not begin until all solvent cement joints have fully cured. Begin initial pressure testing at around 10% of the system’s rated hydrostatic pressure to detect any potential issues before applying higher pressure levels.
Valve Application
These valves are typically used in water systems, both for new installations and renovation projects, whether above ground or buried underground. Their function is to regulate water distribution across mesh networks by allowing controlled opening and closing. Valves also support essential maintenance activities, including opening/closing actions, post-fire control, and isolation operations. In isolation systems, valves enable maintenance on specific network sections, removal of adjacent pipeline parts, or managing failures or accidents by limiting flooding risks.
These valves are commonly applied in sewage systems, water distribution, industrial operations, and the food & beverage industry.
