Plug Valves Built for Reliable Shut-Off Performance in Demanding Operating Conditions

Even high-performance plug valves can experience issues if they are improperly selected, installed, or maintained. Understanding common problems helps improve reliability and reduce downtime.

• Leakage: Often caused by worn sealing surfaces, improper installation, or unsuitable materials.

• Difficult operation: Excessive torque may result from lack of lubrication, media buildup, or component wear.

• Corrosion and erosion: Aggressive media can damage internal parts and shorten valve service life.

• Seal wear: Frequent cycling and harsh operating conditions may accelerate sealing surface deterioration.

• Unexpected downtime: Poor-quality valves can lead to premature failures and increased maintenance costs.
