Possible malfunctions and ways to fix them

2. If the end seals are damaged, they should be replaced.
- // - Abrasive wear of the ball (the valve was in a semi-open state, which is not allowed) Replace the ball, and install a mesh filter in front of the valve to catch solid particles that damage the ball.
Leakage along the stem Damaged stem seal 1. Tighten the nut that presses the sealing ring (seal).
2. Replace the sealing ring (seal).
Cannot open/close Ball seized Disassemble the valve, clean the surface of the ball, and replace the end seals if necessary.
To avoid recurrence of the malfunction, it is recommended to periodically open/close the valve during operation.

Attention! Before repairing a ball valve, the area on which it is installed must be drained. Repair work on a ball valve under pressure is not allowed.
