Series 203 Variable Leak Valve Installation and Operating Instructions

Symptoms, Causes, and Remedies

Symptom

Cause

Remedy

Leak has only on or off 
properties. Does not give 
smooth continuous control.

A liquid film on the sealing 
surfaces produced by 
allowing moist or vapor 
laden gases to flow through 
the Leak.

A brief vacuum bakeout at 200 to 300 ° C for a few hours.

Leak will not seal.

Insufficient thrust, clutch 
slips before seal is attained.

Remove the driver handle and tighten the clutch set screw. 
After the Leak is sealed, adjust the clutch to slip about 10 
counter numbers below the sealed position.

Insufficient thrust, driver 
dirty.

Remove the driver. Remove the clutch. Remove the 
retaining rings holding the drive shaft bearings in place. 
Remove the bearings and the worm shaft. The drive screw 
worm gear assembly should now be carefully unscrewed. 
Clean the drive screw threads with a solvent such as 
chlorothene. Do not allow the drive screw worm gear 
assembly to come in contact with heat. Clean the worm. Do 
not clean the bearings. Relubricate the
contact surfaces of the worm and gear and drive screw with 
molybdenum disulfide. Reassemble. Remove the retracting 
screw. Loosen the set screw in the aluminum bushing and 
rotate one-eighth turn. Tighten set screw and replace the 
retracting screw. Test the valve for control. Repeat as 
necessary until smooth action is obtained.

Sealing surfaces 
contaminated.

Replace Leak Valve body. Glass particles, lint, metal chips 
and dust cannot usually be removed.

Leak momentarily opens or 
closes in reverse reaction to 
the turning of the driver 
handle.

Misalignment of Driver 
Assembly and Leak Valve.

Re-attach the Driver and Leak Valve, tighten the mounting 
screws evenly.

Driver Assembly parts out of 
alignment.

Remove the retracting screw. Loosen the set screw in the 
aluminum bushing and rotate one-eighth turn. Tighten set 
screw and replace the retracting screw. Test the valve for 
control. Repeat as necessary until smooth action is obtained.

Body mounting screws stick 
after bakeout.

Lubrication has evaporated.

Place drops of penetrating oil on each screw and let soak for 
10 minutes.

Retracting screw strips out 
of nosepiece.

Retracting screw not 
properly seated.

Always make certain retracting screw is completely engaged 
before operating valve.
