Insufficient supply pressure.

Check upstream pressure.

Depending on water 
source, supply pressure 
may not be controlled by 
valve operator.

Main valve stem assembly corroded/
damaged

Inspect stem assembly, clean/
replace if necessary.

Blockage in pilot system.

Inspect & clean any installed 
pilot system strainers, check 
orifice/speed controls for 
blockages.

Improperly configured opening speed 
control. 

Adjust opening speed control 
to verify functionality, adjust as 
required.

Standard setting for opening 
speed control is 11/2 - 21/2 
turns open from full closed 
position. Can be adjusted 
in field.

Diaphragm is damaged

Conduct diaphragm seal test, 
repair and replace if necessary. 

Main valve stem assembly corroded/
damaged.

Inspect stem assembly, clean/
replace if necessary.

Blockage in main valve.

Perform freedom of movement  
test; if valve does not close,  
disassemble and remove  
blockage.

Worn/damaged valve seat. 

Perform  seat sealing check; 
disassemble and inspect/re-
pair seat if required.

Improperly configured closing speed 
control.

Adjust closing speed control 
to verify functionality, adjust as
