Intended use
Bardiani valves have been designed exclusively for moving fluids.
Prohibited use
The valve must not be used:
• for any operations different to those described under the heading “Intended Use”,
• for handling fluids different to the type specified by the manufacturer;
• for moving fluids at different pressures to those envisaged by the manufacturer and indicated in the
valve's technical data.
Limitations on valve use
It is forbidden to:
• use the valve in a construction configuration different to the one envisaged by the manufacturer.
• use the valve where there is a risk of explosion and/or fire, unless envisaged by the manufacturer (if
the valves are certified in accordance with Directive 2014/34/EU, please refer to the ATEX Manual)-;
• integrate other systems and/or equipment which were not considered by the manufacturer during the
executive design phase,
• use the valve for purposes other than those specifically envisaged by the manufacturer.
WARNING!
The machine may not he used inside premises where there is a potentially explosive atmosphere or risk
of fire unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer (in the case of valves certified in accordance with

The valve complies with PED 2014/68/EU directive, with special reference to Annex III, Module A,
concerning internal manufacturing checks as indicated in the Conformity Assessment Procedures.
Valves with DN equal or smaller than DN25 are not included in compliance with Article 4, paragraph 3.
Valves designed for use with gases, liquefied gases, gases dissolved under pressure, vapours and also those liquids
whose vapour pressure at the maximum allowable temperature is greater than 0,5 bar above normal atmospheric
pressure (1 013 mbar) are included within the following limits:
- valves with DN between DN32 and DN100 (included) with group 1 fluids;
- valves with DN125 or bigger with group 2 fluids.
In the event of any doubt, please contact Bardiani Valvole S.p.A.

3. VALVE LIFTING:
Take care as to the type of valve you are handling. Based on the size
there are two different lifting procedures.
CAUTION!
Before lifting the valve, make sure there are no disassembled or
separate valve parts which could fall off causing injury to persons
and damage to the valve.
CAUTION!
The figures above are used purely to represent the methods and procedures for hoisting the valves.
Bardiani Valvole S.p.A. declines all liability for any damage to things and/or injuries to persons caused
by improper and/or incorrect hoisting of the valve.

5 Installation
1. ELECTRICAL AND PNEUMATIC ENERGY SUPPLY
-Use expert personnel for installation/uninstallation operations;
-Check that the air pressure and quality are correct (see "Technical
Data");
-Check the power supply to the control unit is correct (consult the
relative instruction manual).
A = Upward movement of the valve member
A = Downward movement of the valve member
In single acting valves there is only one of the aforementioned
commands.
2. REDUCING THE STRESS TO WHICH THE VALVE IS SUBJECTED:
-Vibrations;
-Thermal expansion of the piping;
-Excessive welding;
-Overload.
CAUTION!
The seal seats may become deformed or cause valve malfunctioning.
3. CORRECT DIRECTION OF FLOW:
Flow in the opposite direction to valve closure minimizes
water hammer.
CAUTION!
Bardiani Valvole S.p.A. declines all liability for any damage to things
and/or injuries to persons caused by any failure to correctly follow the
installation procedures.

4. VALVE CONNECTIONS/CONNECTORS:
If the valve is fitted with connectors, you may proceed with installation.
Correctly insert the gaskets and tighten the connectors.
5. WELDING THE VALVE BODY ONTO PIPING:
Remove the body from the rest of the valve before proceeding with
welding operations. Please refer to the following pages in this manual.
WARNING!
Hand crushing hazard. During operation there is a crushing hazard
caused by the washing pin or the guide pin (when present).
Weld it care/ try to make a stressless welding to avoid deformatin
on sealing areas. Check the valve for regular operation after
welding

5 Installation
14 EN-IST-BBZO-0420
Only use pulsed arc welding and rememeber no gap between flange
and tank plate.
Tack weld always on the opposite side (8 segments with filler metal).
Weld root if possible without filler metal. Welding of the final run
must be done in 8 segments to avoid crack.
Assemble the valve after welding.
Check before using the valve:
Supply compressed air in the various A - B - C inputs one by one
Operate the valve several times to make sure it works properly.

1. VALVE CLEANING WITH DETERGENTS:
The system in which the valve is installed must be cleaned by expert
personnel in observance of the following:
-Abide by the indicated detergent concentration values;
-Observe the instructions provided by the detergent manufacturer.
-Always wear protective safety glasses and gloves.
IMPORTANT!
-Accurately dose detergents to avoid excessive concentration;
-Always rinse thoroughly with clean water after washing.
-Check compatibility of valve materials.
WARNING!

gloves
WARNING
After installing a new or serviced valve, perform an internal washing
cycle before using the piping for food liquids. If it there has been any
welding work, passivation treatment must be carried out.
