Installation of the safety valve manual valve
Thread Content
Are there installation requirements for the safety valve manual valve that it must be installed horizontally? Why
The installation requirement for the safety valve manual valve is that it be installed horizontally, as this orientation allows for better control over the flow direction of the fluid and facilitates operation of the manual valve. Such an installation method also helps to ensure that the safety valve can operate properly when needed, thereby releasing pressure in a timely manner. .

Article 10.2.10 of the «Code for Design of Layout of Metal Piping in Petrochemical Industries» (SH3012-2011) states that when safety valves are installed on the inlet and outlet pipes of such valves, they should be sealed with lead or locked open； When the cut-off valve is a gate valve, the valve stem should be installed horizontally.
The main concern is that the raft slab supporting the vertically installed gate valve might fall off, which could affect the proper functioning of the safety valve
