Frequently Asked Questions
How should stored valves be handled before installation?
Store them in a closed, dry room; keep original protection (caps/coats); and perform periodical checks to verify conditions.
What safety precautions are necessary when lifting or handling packed valves?
Use appropriate fork hitches on pallets. Protect weld ends/machined surfaces with wedges/plywood. Ensure the load is balanced and handled by qualified personnel.
How do I properly lubricate a valve's gland nuts?
Unscrew the bonnet nuts, then grease the gland nuts using suitable grease (e.g., AGIP GRMUEP2 or API PGX2).
What fluid type should be used to clean components before cleaning and storage?
Use a solvent liquid rinse to clean end faces. Actuated valves must also have their interiors cleared with an air line.
