Installation, Operation & Maintenance Notes

1. Standard Operation Specifications

This 1500LB API600 gate valve is only designed for full-open and full-closed pipeline isolation, strictly prohibited for flow throttling. Long-term partial opening will cause high-speed medium scouring on hard sealing surfaces and lead to internal leakage. Over-pressure and over-temperature operation beyond 1500LB pressure and 550℃ temperature range is forbidden to prevent valve body deformation and sealing failure. Cut off power supply completely before manual emergency operation to avoid motor burnout and safety accidents.

2. Professional Welding & Installation

The welded connection construction must be operated by certified professional welders. Post-weld heat treatment is mandatory to eliminate welding stress and prevent forged valve body cracking. During installation, strictly protect self-sealing components and electric actuators from collision, scratch and rain erosion. Reserve sufficient maintenance space for electric control parts to facilitate daily inspection and overhaul.

3. Daily Maintenance Management

Regularly lubricate OS&Y rising stem threads with high-temperature special grease to prevent thread galling and jamming. Avoid over-tightening the packing gland to prevent increased stem friction and electric motor damage. All pressure-bearing components are forbidden to disassemble under pressure; all maintenance work must be carried out after pipeline depressurization and medium purging.

4. Long-Term Anti-Corrosion Protection

For valves serving in high-temperature steam pipelines, regularly detect the tightness of self-sealing bonnet and packing box to prevent high-temperature medium leakage. For long-term idle equipment, keep the valve half-open, dry the inner cavity with nitrogen and apply anti-rust treatment to avoid residual medium corrosion and structural damage.
