Before installation, ensure the pipeline is clean and free of weld slag or hard particles that may damage lining and sealing surfaces. Align mating flanges correctly to avoid unnecessary stress on the body.

Do not apply operating force beyond the intended range. Directional products should be installed according to their markings. During service, inspect external condition, fasteners, sealing performance and actuation as part of the plant maintenance plan.

Always follow the confirmed technical documentation for the specific product.
