10. General Notes

  1. For dry ash or highly abrasive media, metal-to-metal seating with Stellite 6 hardfaced gate edges is highly recommended.
  2. Bevel gear boxes are supplied as standard for sizes DN250 and above to limit manual handwheel operating force to <250 N.
  3. Packing chamber is field-adjustable; gland nuts can be tightened under pressure to seal any minor stem packing weeps.
  4. Chain wheel operators are available on request for high-level pipe rack installations.
