Is it better to install pneumatic control valves in horizontal pipes or vertical pipes? Is the valve itself heavy?
Horizontal pipe: the control valve is installed vertically with its front side facing upward on a horizontal pipe, and the actuator is located above the valve body. The weight of the valve depends on its diameter
It is best to install it horizontally as well, and it needs to be fixed. After all, it is limited by the structure of the actuator.
There are standards for this; the ideal position is to have the valve installed vertically on a horizontal pipeline, depending on the circumstances
On horizontal pipes, the control valve is installed upright; when mounted vertically on horizontal pipes, it is also easier to fix and support.
