Maintenance
It is recommended that diagnostic tests be preformed on the valve 3-6 months prior to scheduled maintenance
shutdowns. Complete valve disassembly is recommended if tests performed on the valve indicate leakage, sticking, or
substandard operation. If diagnostics indicate normal valve operation, complete disassembly and inspection of the
TBX is recommended during every other regularly scheduled outage or after 24-36 months, whichever comes first.
Table 2 identifies the recommended inspection tips and diagnostics that can be performed with corresponding repair
and replacement information.
