INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
Before starting the installation process, check that you have all the parts needed for the valve assembly, and that the materials,
connection type and nominal pressure are suitable for the installation.
For solvent or welded connections, ensure also that the parts to be connected are of the same material and that you are using the
correct solvent or welding tools.
To install the valve, follow best installation practice recommendations provided on the Cepex website, paying particular attention to
thermal expansion and pipe alignment.
When filling the pipes with liquid, check that all the air is purged from the system and that the initial pressure does not exceed the
nominal pressure of the valve, or of the system element with the lowest nominal pressure rating.
Valve assembly using standard ISO-DIN, ANSI, JIS and BS/E flanges. Flat gaskets are not needed in the socket couplings, as they
are incorporated in the valve itself. Observe the tightening sequence of the screws on the flanges (Fig. 5) and the maximum
tightening torque. It is essential that all the screws are installed in order to ensure proper operation of the valve.
The PP/PE sockets for butt welding must be chamfered as indicated in the diagram (Fig. 6) and table (T6.2), to ensure correct opening
and closing of the disc.
Install the valve once the sockets are solvent-bonded and dry, to avoid problems with the adhesive (entry of the latter into the valve).
Flanges must be well centred on the valve (pay special attention to measurements 4" (DN100-DN125) and 8" (DN200). Assembly
misalignment could cause problems with the valve operation.

flange, even without correspondence in
the valves

6.1 Exception (Valve 3" ANSI flanges)
When installing the 3 "valve with ANSI-150 flanges, the assembly requires special attention as only 2 bolts will coincide with the
valve holes, leaving the other 2 bolts on the outer side of the body, as shown in Fig.6 .
As always, all the holes in the flange must be bolted, even if they do not correspond to the valve.
