(IM-P600-02) supplied with the product.
Warning - Pressure
BDV1 and BDV2 valves are generally used to depressurise a system /
vessel prior to maintenance or removal. Do not assume that the system
has depressurised even if a pressure guage indicates zero.
Consider the direction of the depressurised flow and ensure that this
will not cause a hazard to yourself or others. Suitable tubing should
be fitted to ensure a safe discharge.
Warning - Temperature
Allow time for temperature to normalise after depressurisation to
avoid danger of burns.
Installation note:
Where BDV1 or BDV2 depressurisation valves are fitted to PC3_ or
PC4_ pipeline connectors see IM-P128-06.
PMOB Maximum operating backpressure is 100% of the
upstream pressure
