1. ERIKS operating companies
ECON storm valves are being delivered by several ERIKS operating companies on a worldwide
basis. In this manual these will be referred to as ‘ERIKS’, the individual terms of delivery of the
ERIKS operating company having executed the order are applicable.
2. Product description
The ECON storm valves are designed according to the information in our latest catalogue or see
our website www.eriks.com and should be used in accordance with the applicable pressuretemperature rating as stated on this website. ECON storm valves are provided with casted
markings according to EN 19. The marking makes the identification of the valve easier and
contains:
- size (DN)
- pressure rating class
- body material marking
- arrow, indicating the medium flow direction
- charge number
- ECON logo
3. Requirements for maintenance staff
The staff assigned to assembly, operating and maintenance tasks should be qualified to carry out
such jobs and in any circumstance, ensure personal safety.
4. Transport and storage
Transport and storage should always be carried out with the discs completely closed and the valve
should be protected against external forces, influence and destruction. The valves should be
stored in an unpolluted space and should also be protected against all atmospheric
circumstances. There should be taken care of the temperature and humidity in the room, in order
to prevent condensate formation.
5. Function
ECON storm valves also known as scupper valves are provided in angle and straight type and
without or with locking device. The storm valves are self-closing valves under the waterline of
ships. Important is their non-return function, allowing the media to be discharged but at the same
time preventing seawater from entering the system.
6. Application
ECON storm valves are used aboard ships for discharge of sanitary pipelines, grey water and
septic tanks and usually places shipside.
The installation designer is responsible for the storm valve selection, suitable for the working
conditions. The valves are unsuitable, without written permission of an ERIKS company, to apply
for hazardous media as referred into Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

7. Installation
During the assembly of the ECON storm valves, the following rules should be observed:
- make sure before an assembly that the valves were not damaged during the transport or
storage.
- make sure that the applied valves are suitable for the working conditions, medium used in
the system and the right system connections, according to pressure and temperature
limits.
- the angle type storm valve Fig.1205 and straight type storm valve Fig.1208 are standard
without locking device. For the storm valve with locking device we have Fig.1207 angle
type and Fig. 1209 straight type. Storm valves can only be installed with the discharge
medium form above.
- by turning the locking device down you can block the disc from getting open, this can be
useful when the ship is in dock or when there is a heavy storm.
- during fitting, the proper flow direction has to be considered.
- the interior of the valve and pipeline must be free from foreign particles.
- the valve should be assembled in the pipeline in closed position, for a correct functioning,
the valve must be stress free mounted between the flanges, supports must be arranged to
prevent any additional stress, caused by the weight of the valve or the pipeline.
- bolted joints on the pipeline must not cause additional stress resulted from excessive
tightening, user shall select proper bolts and gaskets according the working temperature,
working pressure and medium.
- before startup, especially after repairs carried out, flash out the pipeline.
- after installation it is necessary to check the valve operation and tightness of all
connections. A tightness test should be carried out.
