Issue

Possible Cause

Corrective Action

Notes

Main Valve will not 
open

Closed isolation valves in pilot system.

Check isolation valves, ensure 
open. 

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. 

Main Valve will not 
close

Closed isolation valves in pilot system

Check isolation valves, ensure 
open. 

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 
required.

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