1. Scope
For valves without ‘’BPE’’ Mark, the technical data are not binding and not
expressly warranted characteristics of the goods. They are subject to change.
Our general conditions of sale apply.
2. Manufacturer's Declaration
The ‘CE’ mark on the valve refers to this accordance [as per the directive on
pressure equipment, only valves larger than DN 25 (Connection Size 1”) can be
labeled with ‘CE’].
3. Safety Information
Hazard notices are used in this manual to warn you of possible injuries or
damages to property. Please read and abide by these warnings at all times.
The same safety instructions apply to the diaphragm valves as to the piping
system in which they are built:
The planner / installer of the piping system and the operator of such systems
into which the diaphragm valve has been installed are responsible for
ensuring that:
The diaphragm valve is used only as intended,
The piping system has been installed professionally and its operability is
checked regularly,
The valve is installed, serviced, maintained and repaired only by authorized
and specialized personnel,
Personnel is instructed regularly as to safety on the job and environmental
protection - particularly regarding pressure bearing piping systems,
Personnel is familiar with the manual and adheres to the instructions
3.4 Hazards
When uninstalling the diaphragm valve, the following hazards can occur:
Un-monitored exiting of the media from the pipe or valve, whether under
pressure or not,
The media may continue to flow out of the pipe,
Un-monitored exiting of the CIP / SIP media from the pipe and the valve,
Residue of hazardous media may be present in the valve.
Therefore, prior to opening the pipe line and uninstalling the valve
The pipeline must be completely relieved of pressure,
The control line must be completely relieved of pressure,
The pipeline must be completely emptied,
In case of aggressive, hazardous, flammable or explosive media, the line
must be flushed,
After dismounting, the diaphragm valve must be emptied completely. Allow
the valve to drain completely in the vertical position.
The diaphragm valves must be handled, transported and stored with care:

4. Intended Use
Diaphragm valves are designed exclusively for controlling the flow of media
within the permissible pressure and temperature range when installed in a
piping system.
Cavitation must be avoided in control operations
Due to the flexible diaphragm, the characteristic curve shows slight
hysteresis during opening or closing of valve
5. Installation Procedure
To open (Disassembly)
For clamp connection,
Loosen clamp nuts by hand. Loosen the clamp and slide them off from
respective ends. The diaphragm valve is then removed from the connecting

5.3 Self-draining
To drain the diaphragm valve and the pipeline, the installation must have the
necessary incline. For optimal self-draining of the diaphragm valve, the
mounting angle can be found in Leistung Valve & Allied Product catalogue
also available on our website. The installation incline of approx. 1° to 2° has
not been taken into consideration in the given values.
5.4 Fastening
Inspect the diaphragm valve for transport damages (do not install a
damaged valve)
Make sure that only diaphragm valves are built in with the correct
pressure rating, connection type, measurements and materials for the
respective application conditions
Do a test run by opening and closing the diaphragm valve
Do not install valves with a malfunction
Do another test run after installation

6. Maintenance
The component with the most wear and tear in every diaphragm valve is the
diaphragm itself. Besides mechanical stress, the diaphragm is subject to wear
resulting from the flow media.
Dismantle the valve body by removing the screws which connect the valve
body to bonnet
Elastomer diaphragms
Elastomer diaphragms DN15 & DN20 have a pressed knob on top. To
remove the diaphragm , just pull strongly
Elastomer diaphragms DN25 to DN50 are retained by a threaded bolt
and are removed by rotating counterclockwise

PTFE diaphragms
PTFE diaphragms are equipped with a bayonet catch. Rotate the
diaphragm 90° in any direction and pull out
