Safe operation of these products can only be guaranteed if they are properly installed, commissioned,
used and maintained by qualified personnel (see Section 1.11) in compliance with the operating
instructions. General installation and safety instructions for pipeline and plant construction, as
well as the proper use of tools and safety equipment must also be complied with.
1.1 Intended use
Referring to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, name-plate and Technical Information
Sheet, check that the product is suitable for the intended use/application.
The products listed below comply with the requirements of the EU Pressure Equipment Directive
/ UK Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations and each carries the mark when so required.
The products fall within the following Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) categories:

BSA3-BD and BSA6-BD Bellows Sealed Stop Valves
i) The product has been specifically designed for use on steam, compressed air, water/condensate
which are in Group 2 of the above mentioned Pressure Equipment Directive.
ii) A number of products are supplied for the intention of the end user (or agent thereof) modifying
the flange configuration from that supplied. It is the responsibility of the organisation carrying
out the modification to do so in accordance with the internationally recognised flange standards
and to ensure that the design rating and operation of the product are not compromised. Spirax Sarco
will not be held responsible for any unapproved modification or consequential liability resulting
in failure to observe these requirements.
iii) Determine the correct installation situation and direction of fluid flow.
iv) Spirax Sarco products are not intended to withstand external stresses that may be induced by
any system to which they are fitted. It is the responsibility of the installer to consider these
stresses and take adequate precautions to minimise them.
v) Remove protection covers from all connections and protective film from all name-plates, where
appropriate, before installation on steam or other high temperature applications.
1.2 Access
Ensure safe access and if necessary a safe working platform (suitably guarded) before attempting
to work on the product. Arrange suitable lifting gear if required.
1.3 Lighting
Ensure adequate lighting, particularly where detailed or intricate work is required.
1.4 Hazardous liquids or gases in the pipeline
Consider what is in the pipeline or what may have been in the pipeline at some previous time.
Consider: flammable materials, substances hazardous to health, extremes of temperature.
1.5 Hazardous environment around the product
Consider: explosion risk areas, lack of oxygen (e.g. tanks, pits), dangerous gases, extremes of
temperature, hot surfaces, fire hazard (e.g. during welding), excessive noise, moving machinery.
1.6 The system
Consider the effect on the complete system of the work proposed. Will any proposed action (e.g. closing
isolation valves, electrical isolation) put any other part of the system or any personnel at risk?
Dangers might include isolation of vents or protective devices or the rendering ineffective of
controls or alarms. Ensure isolation valves are turned on and off in a gradual way to avoid system
shocks.
1.7 Pressure systems
Ensure that any pressure is isolated and safely vented to atmospheric pressure. Consider double
isolation (double block and bleed) and the locking or labelling of closed valves. Do not assume
that the system has depressurised even when the pressure gauge indicates zero.
1.8 Temperature
Allow time for temperature to normalise after isolation to avoid the danger of burns.
IM-P184-19 CTLS Issue 4 5
BSA3-BD and BSA6-BD Bellows Sealed Stop Valves
1.9 Tools and consumables
Before starting work ensure that you have suitable tools and/or consumables available. Use only
genuine Spirax Sarco replacement parts.
1.10 Protective clothing
Consider whether you and/or others in the vicinity require any protective clothing to protect against
the hazards of, for example, chemicals, high/low temperature, radiation, noise, falling objects, and
dangers to eyes and face.
1.11 Permits to work
All work must be carried out or be supervised by a suitably competent person.
Installation and operating personnel should be trained in the correct use of the product according
to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions.
Where a formal 'permit to work' system is in force it must be complied with. Where there is no such
system, it is recommended that a responsible person should know what work is going on and,
where necessary, arrange to have an assistant whose primary responsibility is safety.
Post 'warning notices' if necessary.
1.12 Handling
Manual handling of large and/or heavy products may present a risk of injury. Lifting, pushing,
pulling, carrying or supporting a load by bodily force can cause injury particularly to the back.
You are advised to assess the risks taking into account the task, the individual, the load and the
working environment and use the appropriate handling method depending on the circumstances
of the work being done.
1.13 Residual hazards
In normal use the external surface of the product may be very hot. If used at the maximum permitted
operating conditions the surface temperature of some poducts may reach temperatures in excess
of 425 °C (797 °F).
Many products are not self-draining. Take due care when dismantling or removing the product from
an installation (refer to 'Maintenance instructions').
1.14 Freezing
Provision must be made to protect products which are not self-draining against frost damage in
environments where they may be exposed to temperatures below freezing point.
1.15 Safety information - Product specific
See the relevant Sections in the attached Installation and Maintenance Instructions for specific
details relating to these products.
Warning
The body/bonnet collar gaskets contain a thin stainless steel support ring which may cause physical
injury if they are not handled and disposed of carefully.
Care must be taken when opening and closing the handwheel to prevent any possible injury to the
hands from the locking screw.
