2 Safety instructions
2.1 Intended use
The bunging valve is primarily intended to be used to hold the pressure of gaseous media in tanks
and containers consistently and to prevent over-pressures if the safety function is set.
2.2 General notes
NOTICE - observe the operating instructions
To avoid danger and damage, the fitting must be used in accordance with the safety instructions
and technical data contained in the operating instructions.
NOTICE
All data are in line with the current state of development. Subject to change as a result of tech-
nical progress.
2.3 General safety instructions
WARNING
Risk of injury by outflowing medium
Dismantling the valve or valve assemblies from the plant can cause injuries.
– Medias flowing through the leakage drain outlet are to be drained off without splashing
into a discharge arrangement.
– Carry the disassembling only if when the plant has been rendered pressure-less and free
of liquid and gas.
WARNING
Risk of injury by outflowing medium
With pressure greater than the set pressure the gaseous or liquid media will radial escape into the
atmosphere via outlet drillings.
– It is necessary to install protection and drainage devices.
WARNING
Functional impairment at low temperatures
Referring to the used sealing materials the vacuum valves are suitable for a minimum operating
temperature at -10 °C.
ØLow operating or ambient temperatures may applicable a impairment the function.
– Therefore, appropriate measures shall be taken for an operation at temperatures below
+5°C to ensure a safe function of the valve.
WARNING
ATEX - Guidelines
If the valve or the plant is operated in a potentially explosive atmosphere, the valid ATEX directive of
the EC and the installation instructions in this operating manual must be observed.
CAUTION
Before starting the system, the entire pipeline system must be thoroughly cleaned.

KIESELMANN GmbH | Operating instruction Safety instructions | 2
6268_EN 7 / 24
CAUTION
Steps should be taken to ensure that no external forces are exerted on the fitting.
CAUTION
Malfunction due to contamination
Internal or external dirt may impair the function of the fitting or the safety equipment.
ØTherefore the fitting must be operated in a way that protects it from external influences.
– The fitting must be cleaned internal and external at regular intervals.
– The fitting must be maintained at regular intervals.
– The fitting must be checked for its function at regular intervals.

Observe storage instructions
avoid a prolonged storage
INFORMATION
Recommendation for longer storage
We recommend regularly checking the product and the prevailing storage conditions during long
storage times.
• To avoid damage to seals and bearings,
– products up to DN 125 / OD 5 inch should be stored horizontally for maximum 6 months.
– products larger than DN 125 / 5 inch, should be stored in the upright position with the actu-
ator on top.
• Don't store any objects on the products.
• Protect the products for wetness, dust and dirt.
• The product should be stored in a dry and well ventilated room at a constant temperature (op-
timal indoor temperature: 25 C ±5; indoor humidity data 70% ±5%).
• Protect seals, bearings and plastic parts for UV light and ozone.

4 Function and operation
4.1 Description of function
The valve opens against spring force if the set pressure is crossed. It closes if the current pressure
drops under the set pressure (see Characteristic curves)
Optional: For valves with safety function(DN15, DN25), a locking sleeve prevents, that the pre-
scribed maximum pressure within the set range will be exceeded.
4.2 Manual operation
M
The manual lifting device serves to manually actuate the valve.
• Short term lifting of the valve takes place by pulling on the spindle (3) via the spherical button
(11) and/or the lifting nut (10) in the direction X. This will raise the valve and the medium dis-
perses via outlet B.
• For a longer lifting of the valve (e.g. when cleaning), the lifting nut (10) is turned in a clockwise
direction to the adjusting nut (9). Now mark (M) the position with a pen/pencil. nscrew the ad-
justing nut (9) anticlockwise using 2 complete turns. The valve will be raised and the medium
disperses via outlet B.
In order to close the valve, the adjusting nut (9) is turned in an anticlockwise direction using 2 com-
plete turns as far as the mark. Screw the lifting nut (10) anticlockwise as far as the spherical button
(11) and tighten.
4.3 Pressure setting
The set pressure can be adjusted to scaling in the pressure area by longitudinal positioning of the
adjustment nut (9). The positioning is done by rotary motion via a thread.
Optional: For valves with safety function, the adjustment nut is turned up to the locking sleeve, so
that the prescribed maximum pressure within the set range will be not exceeded.
CAUTION
Valve plate don't close
The positioning of the lifting nut is tightened in the operating mode using the spherical button. Were
the lifting to come and rest upon the adjusting nut the valve would not close tight enough to ensure
a seal against the leakage of fluids.

5 Commissioning, service and maintenance
5.1 Commissioning
5.1.1 Installation instructions
A
Fitting position
The bung valve must be installed vertically at connection "A" (see figure).
Functional check
After installation or after manual actuation of the valve, the closing function and the function in the
operating state must be checked in accordance with the specified performance data.
5.1.2 General welding guidelines
Sealing elements integrated in weld components must generally be removed prior to welding. To
prevent damage, welding should be undertaken by certified personnel (EN ISO 9606-1). Use the TIG
(Tungsten Inert Gas) welding process.
CAUTION
Damage and injuries due to high temperature supply
To avoid a distortion of the components, all welding parts must be welded to stress-relieved.
Allow all components to cool before assembling.
NOTICE
Damage due to impurities
Impurities can cause damage to the seals and seals area.
Clean inside areas prior to assembly.
5.1.3 ATEX - Guidelines
For valves or plants/installations that are operated in the ATEX area, sufficient bonding (grounding)
must be ensured (see valid ATEX Guidelines EG).
5.2 Service
RECOMMENDATION
Replacement of seals
To achieve optimal maintenance cycles, the following points must be observed!
– When replacement of seals, all product-contacting seals should be replaced.
– Only original spare parts may be installed.
Maintenance interval
The maintenance intervals depend on the operating conditions "temperature, temperature-intervals,
medium, cleaning medium, pressure and opening frequency". We recommend replacing the seals 1-
year cycle The user, however should establish appropriate maintenance intervals according to the
condition of the seals.
