II) Verify suitability of material and the minimum and maximum values of pressure and temperature.
If the maximum operating limit conditions of the product are lower than those of the system
where it has to be used or if an improper operation of the product might cause a dangerous
excess of pressure and temperature, make sure to include in the system a safety device to
prevent limits overcoming.
III) Determine the correct position of the installation and the ow direction of the uid.
IV) Our products cannot cope with external stress induced by the system in which they operate.
The installer is responsible of stress analysis and of adequate precautions to be taken in order
