4.3.2 Lifting the valve
To install a large valve into the pipeline, use
lifting equipment (e.g. crane or forklift) to lift
it.
Lifting instructions
−
Use a hook with safety latch (see Fig. 5,
Fig. 6 and Fig. 7) to secure the slings
from slipping off the hook during lifting
and transporting.
−
Secure slings against slipping.
−
Make sure the slings can be removed
from the valve once it has been installed
into the pipeline.
−
Prevent the control valve from tilting or
tipping over.
−
Do not leave loads suspended when in-
terrupting work for longer periods of
time.
−
Make sure that the axis of the pipeline is
always horizontal during lifting and the
axis of the plug stem is always vertical.
−
Make sure that the additional sling be-
tween the lashing point on the actuator
and rigging equipment (hook, shackle
etc.) does not bear any load. The sling
only protects the control valve from tilting
while being lifted. Before lifting the con-
trol valve, tighten the sling.
