If EPDM profile seals are used for the ERU Knife Gate Valves K1, the parts of EPDM 
must not get in contact with oil or grease, as the EPDM would swell. 
For a recommended lubricant see section "Maintenance". 
 
ERU Knife Gate Valves K1 of this design are suitable for "ON-OFF" operation. 
For explicit regulating service, special designs have to be used, e.g. design with 
regulating orifice.
