6Assembly, initial operation, handling, disassembly
SAFETY HINTS!
Read chapters 3 “Intended use” and 4 “Safety hints” before starting to assemble and/or
disassemble the Hazardous material valve.
6.1 Assembly
BURGMER Hazardous material valves are to be installed or attached between or to flanges,
according to EN 1092-1 and DIN EN 1759-1, with sealing bars of shapes B1 or B2, which are
plane parallel machined and have to align. Other types of flanges and sealing bars may only
be used after the manufacturer has checked their technical viability.
The seal faces of body and counter flanges must be smooth and clean.
In BA and collar II seals, the sealing insert acts at the same time as flange seal. Please make
sure to use counter flanges with diameters suited to support the seals of the butterfly valves.
The inner diameter of the counter flanges is intended to cover at least 2/3 of the seal face
and at most the clear width of the valve.
Don’t use additional flange for this type of sealing.
It is forbidden to weld the flanges to the system or other pipeline/conveyor parts after the
Hazardous material valve is installed (seal insert can burn!).

BWM TFB page [11] state: 05.2018
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS!
•Check the Hazardous material valves for transportation damages. Don’t install the
valves if it’s damaged.
•Make sure to install only Hazardous material valves, which technical specifications
(permitted pressure, temperature class, etc.) fulfil the installation requirements.
•The Hazardous material valve must be inserted in a slightly open condition into the
gap between the counter flanges. Seals may otherwise leak later in shaft area.
•The clear width of the counter flanges must provide enough space for the open valve
disk, otherwise it can be damaged while opening.
•The Hazardous material valves can be installed in any position with regard to the
medium flow direction.
•The valve may not serve as fixed point; it is supported by the pipeline system.
•Please ensure to insert the Hazardous material valves centred between the counter
flanges.
•Huge and heavy actuators must be stabilized.
•Clean the flange faces and install flange seals appropriate to the quality of the valve
seal. (IMPORTANT!see also item 6.1.)
•If the valves are provided with grounding screws, shaft and body of the valve must
be integrated mandatorily into the potential equalisation of the whole system. Shaft
and body are provided for this with a specially marked threaded hole. The grounding
cable must have then a cross section of at least 4mm² for nominal widths 50-100
Furthermore, the 90° rotational movement of the shaft is to be taken into account
when dimensioning the length of the shaft grounding cable!
•Thermal expansions in the system are to be compensated through compensators.
•All flange connections are to be tightened with the torques [Ma in Nm] specified in
the following table. The use of torque wrenches ensures that the necessary tightening
torques are adjusted, but not exceeded. Align flanges in plane parallel first. Tighten
then connecting screws crosswise in 3 steps.
Step 1: 50% of the respective tightening torque
Step 2: 80% of the respective tightening torque
Step 3: 100% of the respective tightening torque
