Before installing the knife gate valve, the interior of the valve cavity, sealing surfaces, and other components must be inspected to ensure they are free of adhering dirt or grit.
The bolts at all connection points must be tightened evenly.
The packing gland must be properly compressed to ensure effective sealing while simultaneously allowing the gate to open and close smoothly.
Prior to installation, users must verify the valve model and connection dimensions, and observe the specified direction of media flow to ensure full compatibility with the valve's requirements.
During installation, users must reserve adequate clearance for the valve's actuation mechanism.
Wiring for the actuation device must be carried out in strict accordance with the provided wiring diagram.
The knife gate valve requires periodic maintenance; it must not be subjected to arbitrary impacts or compressive forces, as this may compromise its sealing integrity.
