Operating Instructions for ERU Knife Gate Valve K1 with electric actuator 

 

ERU Knife Gate Valves K1 are   
- clamped between two flanges of the pipeline (wafer type) or  
- screwed to the end flange of the pipeline as end-of-line valves.  

 

The screwed connection with the pipeline is made from flange to flange by means of 
bolts in the through-going holes. For the threaded blind holes the screwed connection 
is made by means of stud bolts or bolts in the body components. 
 
It is possible to roughly fasten the valve by means of the threaded holes. 
 
The necessary connecting elements for the corresponding installation position are 
shown in drawing No.
