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.

8.2.5 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 readyassembled 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
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
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.
