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
housing and seal materials (see type label). Information on the
resistance of materials to the media is available from your Bürkert
sales office.
• During use observe the authorized data, the operating conditions
and conditions of use specified in the contract documents and
operating instructions. These are described in the chapters „Sys-
tem description“ and „Technical data“.
• The device may be used only in conjunction with third-party devices
and components recommended and authorized by Bürkert.
• Correct transportation, correct storage and installation and care-
ful use and maintenance are essential for reliable and faultless
operation.
• Use the device only as intended.
2.1. Restrictions
If exporting the system/device, observe any existing restrictions.
2.2. Predictable Misuse
• Do not introduce media, which attack the housing or seal mate-
rials, into the media connections of the system. The Bürkert
resistance table of materials can be found on the Internet at:
www.burkert.com
• Do not put any loads on the housing (e.g. by placing objects on it
or standing on it).
• Do not make any external modifications to the device housings. Do
not paint the housing parts or screws.
• When closing the valve, tighten it hand-tight only. Overtightening
may prematurely damage the diaphragm.

Installation
8.2. Before installation
• Before connecting the valve, ensure the pipelines are flush.
• The flow direction is optional.
8.2.1. Installation position 2/2-way valve
• The manually actuated diaphragm valve can be installed in any
position.
Installation for self-drainage of the housing
It is the responsibility of the installer and operator to ensure
self-drainage.
To ensure self-drainage:
→Install housing inclined by angle α = 10° to 40° to the horizontal
(see Fig. 4). Forged and cast housings feature a mark which must
face upwards (12 o’clock position).
→Observe an inclination angle of 3° – 5°.
→The bore (in the actuator base) for monitoring leaks must be at
the lowest point.
α
Angle α: 10° to 40°
Inclination to the line axis 3° - 5°

Installation
8.2.4. 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. 7.
→Prior to welding the valve, grind the outlet wall.
Grinding point
on tank
Fig. 7: 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.

Installation
8.2.5. Preparatory work
→Clean pipelines (sealing material, swarf, etc.).
→Support and align pipelines.
Devices with welded or glued housing:
Before welding or gluing the housing, 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
housing
NOTE!
To prevent damage!
Before welding or gluing the housing, the actuator and the diaphragm
must be removed.
Procedure:
→Cross-loosen fastening screws and remove actuator with dia-
phragm from the housing.
→Weld or glue housing in the pipeline.
→After welding or gluing in the housing, smooth the housing surface
(if required) by grinding.
→Clean the housing carefully.
→Place actuator on the housing.
→Lightly cross-tighten the fastening screws until the diaphragm is
between the housing 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 „6.2.1. Allowable temperatures“).
