Maintenance
5.1
General information
The IBV ball valves are designed to require little user maintenance. Edwards recommends periodic cleaning and
adjustment of the valve operating shaft gland nut after approximately 30,000 cycles. There are no parts available
for spares, as removal and refitting of the seals requires specialised factory tooling.
5.2
Safety information
Observe all appropriate safety precautions when performing maintenance on a valve from a system which has pumped
dangerous process substances.
Ensure that maintenance is performed in a well ventilated area.
Do not use abrasive or reactive chemical substances to clean the valve. Do not use solvents to clean the seals.
Dispose of all components which have been contaminated by dangerous process substances in a safe manner.
