7.1  General safety instructions

Prior to any inspection and maintenance work to be performed 

on the valve or mounted parts and attachments, the pressurized 

pipeline must be shut off, the pressure must be relieved and the 

system must be secured against unintentional switching on. De-

pending  on  the  kind  and  criticality  of  the  medium  or  fluid  con-

veyed, all the required safety regulations must be complied with!

Upon completion of the maintenance work and prior to resuming 

operation, all connections must be checked for proper fastening 

and leak-freeness. The individual steps as stated under Section 5 

need to be performed.

Please note, a plunger valve is not self-locking. Therefore neither 

the drive nor the gear must be dismantled while the valve is pres-

surised.  This  section  also  applies  when  the  valve  is  completely 

dismantled.

7.2  Inspection and actuation intervals

The leak-freeness, smooth operation and corrosion protection of 

the valve should be checked at least once per year (DVGW Tech-

nical Rules W 392). 

Under extreme operating conditions, inspection needs to be done 

at shorter intervals.

The  body  seals  can  be  replaced,  if  required,  depending  on  the 

type of fluid conveyed.

7.3  Maintenance and replacement of parts

The  spare  parts  needed  can  be  found  in  the  spare  parts  list  in 

chapter “7.3.1 Design”.
