Regarding whether pneumatic diaphragm control valves can be installed vertically

Can pneumatic diaphragm control valves be installed vertically? Are there any requirements for electrical valve positioners when installing them vertically?

It is generally not recommended to do this when the membrane tip is horizontal; it is highly discouraged. If it’s absolutely necessary, make sure to check that if the membrane tip is large enough, provide proper support for it

It shouldn’t be installed vertically; it’s unreasonable. Haven’t seen it either. Not many requirements should be placed on the locator.

No problem at all; I have control valves installed in the projects I’m working on – Benshan’s ones!

I’ve always thought that pneumatic diaphragm control valves are installed vertically, because only in this way does the force acting on the valve element be equal to gravity, thereby preventing bending

According to the principle of control valves, there should be no problem~~~~ The positioner is also fine
