piping stress.
Remove the piping stress.
The torque is increased by the
influence (temperature, components,
pressure) of fluid on the valve.
Check the service condition.
(Refer to pages 5)
The valve does not
operate by air
operations.
The power source of the control

pressure) of fluid on the valve.
Check the service condition.
(Refer to pages 5)
Fluid leaks from the
valve even when the
valve is right closed or
left closed.
The Carrier is loosened.
Adjust the face pressure between the
ball and the seat.(Refer to pages 25)
The seat is worn.
Replace the seat with a new
