hexagon socket head cap screws mounted flush with the valve cover and secured with paraffin compound. The
fastening bolts are either galvanized steel or stainless steel. The valve cover to body seal is a rubber gasket which
also seals the bolt penetration points to prevent any leaks from their leads. All inner and outer cast-iron surfaces
of the valve are epoxy powder coated. The spindle is driven by a hand wheel.
