Common procedures (threaded and flanged devices):
• In accordance with EN 161, a suitable filter must be installed upstream of a gas closing safety device;
• With outdoor installation, it is advisable to provide a protective roof to prevent rain from damaging the electrical parts of
the device;
• Prior to carrying out any electrical wiring operations, make sure that the mains voltage matches the supply voltage indicated
on the product label;
• Cut out power prior to proceeding with wiring;
• Depending on the shape of the system, evaluate the risk of explosive mixtures developing inside the pipes;
• If the solenoid valve is installed near other devices or as part of an assembly, compatibility between the solenoid
valve and this other device must be evaluated beforehand;
• Avoid installing the solenoid valve near surfaces that could be damaged by the coil's temperature;
• Provide protection against impacts or accidental contacts if the solenoid valve is accessible to unqualified personnel.
3.2 - INSTALLATION (see example in 3.4)
Threaded devices:
• Assemble the device by screwing it, with the due seals, onto the plant with pipes and/or fittings whose threads are consistent
with the connection being attached;
• Do not use the coil (11) as a lever to help you screw it on, only use the specific tool;
• The arrow, shown on the body (4) of the device, needs to be pointing towards the application;
Flanged devices:
• Assemble the device by flanging it, with the due seals, onto the plant with pipes whose flanges are consistent with the
connection being attached. The gaskets must be free from defects and must be centred between the flanges;
• If, after installing the gaskets, there is still an excessive space in between, do not try to reduce the said gap by excessively
tightening the bolts of the device;
• The arrow, shown on the body (4) of the device, needs to be pointing towards the application;
• Insert the relative washers inside the bolts in order to prevent damage to the flanges during tightening;
• When tightening, be careful not to "pinch" or damage the gasket;
• Tighten the nuts or bolts gradually, in a "cross" order (see the example below);
• Tighten them, first by 30%, then by 60%, and finally 100% of the maximum torque (see the table below according to
EN 13611);
• Tighten each nut and bolt again clockwise at least once, until the maximum torque has been achieved uniformly;
• Common procedures (threaded and flanged devices):
• The device can also be installed vertically without prejudicing correct operation. It cannot be put in upside
down (with the coil (11) pointing downwards);
• During installation, avoid debris or metal residues from getting into the device;
• To guarantee mechanical tension-free assembly, we recommend using compensating joints, which also
adjust to the pipe's thermal expansion;
• If the device is to be installed in a ramp, it is the installer's responsibility to provide suitable supports or correctly sized
supports, to properly hold and secure the assembly. Never, for any reason whatsoever, leave the weight of the ramp only on
the connections (threaded or flanged) of the individual devices;
