Valves without Packing Gland
Removing the valve while the pipeline is under pressure can cause personal injury or
equipment damage. Relieve pipeline pressure before removing the valve.
1.
Relieve the pressure in the pipeline and close the valve.
Accidental operation of power actuator can cause personal injury or equipment damage.
Disconnect and lock out power to actuator before servicing.
2. If the actuator is powered, disconnect and lock out the pneumatic, hydraulic or electrical power
to prevent accidental operation of the actuator.
3. Remove the actuator (and adapter, if included) from the valve.
4. Slide spacers down the valve shaft so that they protrude 1/32–1/16" above the body.
Note:
Spacers can be Garlock style 7857/260 rock hard rubber; Grade A, D or E Bronze; or 316 stainless steel.
5. Replace the actuator on the valve.
6.
If packing continues to leak, replace the packing.
Valves with Packing Gland
If the packing leaks on valves with a packing gland, tighten the packing gland nuts just enough to stop
the leak; over-tightening will cause excessive operating torques and premature packing wear. If the
leak cannot be stopped by tightening the packing nuts, replace the packing.
