1. Safety information
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 Indian Boiler
Regulations, 1950
i) The PV4 has been specifically designed for use on steam, air or condensate.
The PV4 and PV6 range have been designed for use on steam, air and water

ii) Check material suitability, pressure and temperature and their maximum and
minimum values. If the maximum operating limits of the product are lower than
those of the system in which it is being fitted, or if malfunction of the product
could result in a dangerous overpressure or overtemperature occurrence, ensure
a safety device is included in the system to prevent such over-limit situations.
iii) 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

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.
vi) 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.
