Please contact the manufacturer if you have any queries, see section 8 for contact address.
Do not operate a ball valve when its permissible pressure/temperature rating is not sized for the operating
installed in the pipeline.
Pfeiffer valves do not have their own potential ignition source according to the risk assessment in the rare incident

1. Intended use
After installing the valve in the pipeline and connecting the actuator to the control equipment, these ball valves are designed
exclusively for use within the permissible pressure and temperature ranges. The valves are used to shut off, divert, divide the
flow or to mix two flows.
The permissible pressure and temperature ranges for these ball valves are specified in the data sheets <TB26l>.
conditions specified in the data sheets <TB26l>.
Danger
Observation of conformity with the Directive 2014/34/EU.
Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in personal injury and can damage equipment
of an operating fault in accordance with DIN EN 134632014/34/EU. Relating to this directive, CE marking is not permissible.
Note
The ball valve body may contain small amounts of medium in the closed and open position:
In the case that the heat in the surroundings where the valve is installed can heat up the process medium in the valve, use
the ball valve version with a relief bore to prevent an impermissible rise in pressure.
Parts subject to wear are not covered by the warranty.
Observance of section 2 <Safety instructions> is presumed for the Intended use.
The valve could be incorporated into potential compensation of plants independent of the directive, valid for
2. Safety instructions
2.1 General safety instructions
