2 Safety
2.1 Intended use
Strainers are used to filter contamination out of media. The cleaning effect with this model depends on the
mesh size. The permissible operating conditions are specified in these operating instructions.
The valve is suitable for the media listed in these operating instructions; see section 4.5 "Media".
Operating conditions and applications deviating from these require the approval of the manufacturer.
Only media may be employed to which the materials used for the valve body and seals are resistant.
Contaminated media or usage outside of the pressure and temperature specifications can lead to damage
to the valve body and seals.
Avoidance of foreseeable incorrect use
Never exceed the permissible usage limits specified in the data sheet or in the documentation
with regard to pressure, temperature, etc.
Follow all safety instructions and operating procedures in these operating instructions.
2.2 Meaning of the operating instructions
The operating instructions are to be read and followed by the responsible technical personnel before
installation and start-up. As part of the valve the operating instructions must always be available close to
it. People could be seriously injured or killed if the operating instructions are not followed.
Read and observe the operating instructions before using the valve.
Retain the operating instructions and make sure they are available.
Pass on the operating instructions to subsequent users.

They have understood the operating instructions and are able to implement the information of the
operating instructions accordingly.
2.4 Personal protective equipment
Missing or unsuitable personal protective equipment increases the risk of damage to health and injuries to
people.
The following protective equipment is to be provided and worn during work:
Protective clothing
Safety shoes
Set out and use additional protective equipment depending on the utilisation and the media:
Safety gloves
Eye protection
Ear protection

2.5 Additional equipment and spare parts
Additional equipment and spare parts not conforming to the manufacturer's requirements can negatively
affect the operational safety of the valve and cause accidents.
In order to ensure operational safety, use original parts or parts that conform to the
manufacturer's requirements. If in doubt, have these confirmed by the dealer or manufacturer.
2.6 Adhere to the technical thresholds
If the technical thresholds for the valve are not adhered to, the valve may sustain damage, accidents may
be caused and people may be seriously injured or killed.
Adhere to the thresholds. See section 4 “Description of the valve".

4.9 Lifetime
The user is obligated to use Herose products only for their intended purpose.
In this case, a technical service life may be assumed in accordance with the underlying product standards
(e.g. EN1626 for shut-off valves and EN ISO 4126-1 for safety valves).
The technical service life can be restarted several times through the exchange of wearing parts within the
context of the maintenance intervals, and lifetimes of more than 10 years can be achieved.
If products are stored for a period exceeding 3 years, then the plastic components and elastomer sealing
elements fitted to the product should be replaced as a precautionary measure before installation and use.
5 Assembly
5.1 Installation position
≤ DN150
With regard to the installation position, pay attention to the flow direction arrow. If the valve is installed in a
horizontal pipeline, a vertical position of the screen is recommended (cover facing downwards).
DN200
With regard to the installation position, pay attention to the flow direction arrow. If the valve is installed in a
horizontal pipeline, a vertical position of the screen is recommended (cover facing downwards).
5.2 Notes regarding the installation
Use suitable tools.
Allen keys of sizes 6, 8, 10, 14, 19;
Open-ended spanners;
Torque wrench;
TIG welding machine;
Oxy-fuel welding machine;
Clean tools before the installation.
Use suitable transport and lifting equipment for the installation.
Open the packaging only directly before the installation. Freedom from oil and grease for oxygen
(O2)
Valves for oxygen are permanently marked with “O2”.
Only install the valve if the maximum operating pressure and operating conditions of the plant
correspond to the marking on the valve.
Remove protective caps or covers before assembly.
Inspect the valve for dirt and damage.
DO NOT install a damaged or dirty valve.
Avoid damaging the connections.
The sealing surfaces must remain clean and intact.
Seal the valve with suitable seals.
No sealant (sealing tape, liquid sealing tape) may enter the valve.
Respect the suitability for use with O2.
Connect pipelines in a force-free and torque-free manner.
Stress-free installation.
In order to ensure trouble-free operation, no impermissible static, thermal or dynamic stresses
may be transmitted to the valve. Observe reaction forces.
Temperature-dependent changes in length in the pipework system must be compensated with
expansion joints.
The valve is supported by the pipework system.
The valve must be protected against dirt and damage during construction work.
Check the leak-tightness.
