Risk of property damage or malfunctions

Malfunctions will occur if the equipment is

installed in a wrong position or with the flow

arrow pointing in the opposite direction of the

fluid flow. This may result in damage to the

equipment or the installation. Make sure that

the flow arrow on the equipment body matches

the indicated direction of the fluid flow in the

pipe.

If the material is unsuitable for the fluid,

increased wear may occur and fluid may

escape. Make sure that the material is suitable

for the fluid used in your installation.

The equipment may get damaged by pressure

impulses, even if the admissible nominal

pressure PN is not exceeded.

Make sure that the equipment is not subject to

pressure impulses or heavily pulsating flow.
