Flange valves are widely used in a variety of fluid pipeline systems, such as water, steam, petroleum, chemical, etc., and are a common valve type. Flanged valves are available in a variety of models and specifications for different pipe diameters and pressure levels. Flanged valves can be used to control the flow, pressure and direction of the fluid, and can also be used to adjust the temperature and filter impurities.

When using flanged valves, the following points need to be noted:

During installation, ensure that the plane of the flange is perpendicular to the axis of the pipeline, and the position of the bolt hole and the diameter of the flange bolt are consistent with the manufacturer's requirements;

The valve should be installed in a position that is easy to operate and maintain, and a support frame or hanger is required;

Before use, it is necessary to check the appearance quality of the valve to see if there are defects such as damage or cracks;

In the process of use, it is necessary to regularly check the sealing performance of the valve and the flexibility of the valve stem, and if there is a problem, it should be repaired or replaced in time.
