However, we recommend that, if installed in a horizontal
run of pipe, the valve should be mounted with the stem
pointing vertically upwards. If the valve is installed in a
vertical run of pipe, the body half (2) according to fi g. 3

Before starting up, fl ush the pipework - with all valves
in the open position - so that any impurities that may
damage the sealing surfaces of the valve and impede its
operation will be fl ushed away.
