The following information is given in good faith and
should aid in the safe use of your SPM products. This
information is not meant to replace existing
Company's safety policies or practices. It is important
to read and understand the "General Safety Data for
all SPM Products".
Personal Responsibilities:
A-1 When using these assemblies, safety glasses,
approved safety shoes and hard hat must be used.
A-2 Do not lift any valve that weighs in excess of
40 pounds. Use a lifting device if valves are to be
used above the head or when weight exceeds 40 lbs.
Proper leg lifting should be used when lifting. Back
lifts should be avoided.
A-3 It is a personal responsibility to use the proper
handle to turn SPM Butterfly Valves. Valves require
torque to operate. Makeshift handles can become
dislodged easily and cause an accident. Use only an
SPM handle.
A-4 Working around pressurized fluid, even low
pressure, is dangerous. For safety, it is recommended
that butterfly valves with SPM remote control actuators
be used wherever possible.
On Location:
B-1 Most sizes of SPM butterfly valves are limited
to a maximum working pressure of 175psi. They
should not be confused with, or used in place of any
high pressure valves.
