2.0 Storage and Handling

2.1 Storage

2.1.1 Inside

Figure 8: Typical Check Valve Storage Position

2.1.2 Outside

If the rubber check valve is to be stored outside, keep the check valve protected in a waterproof crate until ready

for installation. Keep the check valve protected from any external elements such as direct UV exposure. Do not

lay other boxes on top of the check valve or check valve box.

2.2 Handling

3.0 Prior to Installation

3.1 Inspect the Received Check Valve

3.2 Verify the System Parameters

Check the system design parameters for the application to ensure the specified/supplied Cla-Val Rubber-Flex Duckbill Check Valve(s)

will meet the system requirements.

3.3 Check Valve Mating Surface

Inspect the mating flange/surface to ensure that it is undamaged and clean and free of all foreign matter before installation of the

check valve. For slip-on style of rubber check valves, the mating pipe must be free of sharp edges which may damage the inside

sealing diameter of the check valve.

3.4 Safety Area

Always check your work area before installation for safety hazards which may cause injury or damage to personnel or product.

Develop and discuss a safety and exit plan for you and your fellow employees in the event of an emergency.

The ideal storage location for a Cla-Val Rubber-Flex Duckbill Check Valve is in a warehouse setting with a

relatively dry and cool location. Store the check valve in a vertical position on a pallet or wooden platform

similar to as shown in Figure 8 below.

Care should be taken when handling the Cla-Val Rubber-Flex Duckbill Check Valves whether big or small to reduce the

possibility of damaging the check valve during installation. For large size check valves, special care should be taken in loading,

hoisting, and lowering; being careful not to hit adjacent equipment, forklift tines, crane cables, etc. Model RF-DBF & RF-DBO

valves 36” and larger are manufactured with a lifting support hole to assist in the safe and proper lifting/installation of these

check valves. The lifting support holes are not intended to support the entire weight of the check valve and care must be taken to

adequately support the cuffed or flanged end as well. Note: Cla-Val will not be responsible or liable for damage to the rubber

check valve, adjacent equipment, or injury to personnel if these steps are not taken.

Rubber-Flex check valves are fully inspected at the factory and are carefully packaged to arrive at the job site ready for

installation. Upon receipt of the check valve(s), inspect for damage that may have occurred during transportation and

immediately contact your transportation company to report any damage. Check the item(s) received against the packing slip to

ensure that all items have been received. For any questions or concerns about the received product contact your Agent or

Cla-Val at [email protected] or for immediate assistance call (800) 942-6326.

4.1.1 Model RF-DBF: Rubber-Flex Flanged Duckbill Check Valve Installation

4.1.1.1 Step 1: Align

Position/Align the Flanged Rubber check valve into the system. For horizontal applications the bill

of the check valve should be in vertical orientation relative to the ground unless there are clearance

issues. In the case of clearance issues the check valve may be rotated to a maximum of 35 degrees to

allow clearance to the ground.

Figure 9: Model RF-DBF Installation Step 1

4.1.1.2 Step 2: Retaining Rings

Position the split retaining rings onto the flange of the check valve. Use a flat washer to properly

cover the split in the retaining ring.

Figure 10: Model RF-DBF Installation Step 2

4.1.1.3 Step 3: Flange Bolting

Insert the flange bolting and tighten the flange bolting hardware to a “snug” tight fit before

torqueing. Proceed to section 4.1.7 for proper bolt torqueing and a sample torqueing pattern.

Figure 11: Model RF-DBF Installation Step 3

Note: Each Cla-Val Rubber-Flex Check Valve installation can be considered a major pipe installation and the same safety requirements

as used in pipe contracting installations should be implemented. Each Cla-Val Rubber-Flex Check Valve regardless of size should be

installed in the same manner. Cla-Val will accept no responsibility for an improperly installed Rubber-Flex Check Valve(s) or the

improper use of this product. Incorrect installation may result in injury to personnel, reduced check valve service life and/or damage to

other adjacent equipment.

4.1.3 Model RF-DBO: Rubber-Flex Slip-On Duckbill Check Valve Installation

4.1.3.1 Step 1: Slip-On

For Slip-On rubber check valves, slip the rubber check valve over the existing pipe. For horizontal

applications the bill of the check valve must be installed in a vertical orientation relative to the

ground unless there are clearance issues. In the case of clearance issues the check valve may be

rotated to a maximum of 35 degrees to allow clearance to the ground. To ease installation it is

acceptable but not necessary to add soapy water to the exterior of the pipe to facilitate the

installation of the check valve.

4.1.3.2 Step 2: External Clamps

Add the external clamps to the slip-on rubber check valve. For nominal diameters less than or equal

to 10” the check valve will be supplied with either T-Bolt or Worm Gear Clamps. For nominal

diameters greater than 10”, the check valve(s) will be supplied with fabricated stainless steel

clamp(s). If the valve are supplied with more than one fabricated stainless steel clamp, then rotate

the additional clamps which will place the clamping section at opposite angles from the first clamp.

This will ensure that even pressure is applied to the valve. Note: The supplied number of clamps will

vary depending on size and application.

Figure 16: Model RF-DBO Installation Step 2

4.1.3.3 Step 3: Tighten Clamps

Tighten the external clamp until the rubber is

compressed by the external clamp and a tight fit

is achieved then proceed to section 4.1.8 for

anchor bolting/pinning to anchor the slip-on

check valve to the mating piping.

itself into the rubber of the valve. Tighten the lock nut once the internal expandable clamp is in the

proper position and proceed to section 4.1.8 for anchor bolting/pinning to anchor the slip-in check

valve to the mating pipe. When installing multiple internal expandable clamps ensure the clamps are

evenly spaced/ rotated to provide even clamping pressure as well as the internal expandable fasteners

located in a position that minimizes flow interference. Note: This style of check valve installation

relies on external pressure of the internal expandable clamp to ensure that the valve does not move,

care should be taken to ensure proper sealing.
