Authorized use
2 AUTHORIZED USE
Non-authorized use of the devices may be dangerous to people,
nearby equipment and the environment.
▶The diaphragm valves of Types 3232, 3233, 3233 K, 3234, 3235
and 3239 are designed for the control of contaminated, ultra-pure
or sterile media, as well as for abrasive or aggressive media (also
with higher viscosity).
▶The devices may be used only for media which do not attack
the body and seal materials (see type label). Information on the
resistance of materials to the media is available from your Bürkert
sales office or on the Internet at: www.burkert.com
▶During use observe the authorized data, the operating condi-
tions and conditions of use specified in the contract documents
and operating instructions. These are described in the chapters

Installation
8.2 Before installation
• Before connecting the valve, ensure the pipelines are flush.
• The flow direction is optional.
8.2.1 Installation position general
Installation for self-drainage of the body
It is the responsibility of the installer and operator to ensure
self-drainage.
Installation for leakage detection
One of the bores (in the actuator base) for monitoring
leakage must be at the lowest point.
8.2.2 Installation position 2/2-way valve
• The manually actuated diaphragm valve can be installed in any
position.
To ensure self-drainage:
→Install body inclined by angle α = 10° to 40° to the horizontal
(see Fig. 5). Forged and cast body feature a mark which must
face upwards (12 o’clock position, see Fig. 6).
→Observe an inclination angle of 1° – 5°.
→One of the bores (in the actuator base) for monitoring leakage
must be at the lowest point.

8.2.3 Installation position T-valve Type 3234
For the installation of the T-valves into circular pipelines, we recommend
the following installation positions:
When media is supplied: When media is removed:
Fig. 7: Installation position type 3234
8.2.4 Installation position Y-valve Type 3239
For the installation of the Y-valves into systems, we recommend the
following installation positions:
When media is supplied: When media is removed:
Fig. 8: Installation position type 3239
8.2.5 Installation of the tank bottom valve
Type 3235
For further information on containers and welding instructions,
please refer to the standard ASME VIII Division I.
It is recommended to weld the valve prior to the container
installation. However, it is possible to weld the valves to ready-
assembled containers.
Prior to welding, please check to ensure that:
• The tank bottom valve does not collide with other equipment compo-
nents and assembly/disassembly of the actuator is always possible.
• A minimal distance between two welding joints three times the
thickness of the container wall is adhered to.
It is recommended to weld the valve in the center of the drain
to ensure optimum draining of the container.
The diameter of the hole in the container and the flange must be equal.
The valve has two welding edges to make welding and positioning
of the valve easier. The length of the welding edges is approximately
3 mm. In case the thickness of the container wall exceeds 3 mm, the
valve must be positioned as shown in Fig. 9.
→Prior to welding the valve, grind the outlet wall.

Installation
Grinding point
on tank
Fig. 9: Grinding point on tank
Prior to commencing the welding process, check the charge
number indicated on the supplied manufacturer‘s certificate
3.1.B.
Procedure:
→Position the flange into the hole so that the flange surface is
tangent to the drain surface.
→Tack 4 welding points and check the position of the valve.
→Weld the valve evenly to the inside and outside of the container,
with gas being supplied and using welding material compatible
with the valve‘s stainless steel 316 L (DIN 1.4435).
→Allow the welds to cool down before burnishing and cleaning
them according to the applicable specifications.
These instructions assist in the installation of the tank bottom valves and
allow the prevention of deformation and softening within the containers.
Please observe the applicable laws and regulations of the
respective country with regard to the qualification of welders
and the execution of welding work.
8.2.6 Preparatory work
→Clean pipelines (sealing material, swarf, etc.).
→Support and align pipelines.
Devices with welded or glued body:
Before welding or gluing the body, the actuator and the
diaphragm must be removed.
8.3 Installation
WARNING!
Risk of injury from improper installation!
Non-observance of the tightening torque is dangerous as the
device may be damaged.
▶Observe tightening torque during installation (see „8.3.2 Tight-
ening torques for diaphragms“).
8.3.1 Devices with welded or glued body

Installation
Procedure:
→Cross-loosen fastening screws and remove actuator with dia-
phragm from the body.
→Weld or glue body in the pipeline.
→After welding or gluing in the body, smooth the body surface (if
required) by grinding.
→Clean the body carefully.
→Place actuator on the body.
→Lightly cross-tighten the fastening screws until the diaphragm is
between the body and actuator.
Do not tighten screws yet.
→Activate the diaphragm valve twice to position the diaphragm
correctly.
→Tighten the fastening screws up to the permitted tightening
torque (see tables in chapter „8.3.2 Tightening torques for
diaphragms“).
