How To Fix A Leaking Industry Ball Valve

Fixing a leaking industrial ball valve involves a few steps to identify and address the issue. Here's a general guide to fixing a leaking ball valve:

Materials Needed:

Pipe wrench or adjustable wrench

Replacement seals or gaskets (if necessary)

Pipe thread sealant or Teflon tape

Steps:

Identify the Leak:

●Locate the exact point where the ball valve is leaking. It could be around the valve stem, the body, or where the pipes connect.

Isolate the Valve:

●Shut off the flow of fluid to the valve and release any pressure in the line. For safety, ensure the system is depressurized before starting work.

Disassemble the Valve:

●Using a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench, carefully disconnect the leaking ball valve from the pipes on either side. Ensure you have a container to catch any residual fluid.

Inspect the Components:

●Examine the valve components, including the ball, seals, gaskets, and stem, for signs of damage, wear, or corrosion. Replace any damaged parts.

Replace Seals or Gaskets:

●If the leak is due to damaged or worn seals or gaskets, replace them with new ones that match the specifications of the ball valve. Apply pipe thread sealant or wrap Teflon tape around the threads before reassembly to ensure a proper seal.

Reassemble the Valve:

●Carefully reconnect the ball valve to the pipes, ensuring it's properly aligned. Use the wrench to tighten the connections securely, but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the valve.

Test the Repair:

●Turn the fluid flow back on gradually and check for any leaks. Monitor the valve for a while to ensure the repair holds and there are no new leaks.

Jagon's ball valves are constructed of high quality stainless steel for corrosion and temperature resistance and superior durability to ensure long term stable operation.

Jagon strictly adheres to ISO-9001 quality standards and ball valves are subjected to stringent quality control measures to ensure that the quality and performance of each valve meets and exceeds industry standards.

Domestic and international advanced automated testing equipment for valves, such as ultrasonic testing and metallographic analysis, are used to ensure product reliability throughout the manufacturing process.

At Jagon, we prioritize the integrity of our ball valves. Prior to shipment, each ball valve undergoes a rigorous pre-shipment pressure test, which includes both hydraulic and pneumatic testing, to thoroughly evaluate the resilience and integrity of the ball valve. Testing in both media confirms the durability and leak-proof design of the ball valve. After various rigorous tests, Jagon ships valves with zero leakage, ensuring system safety and reliability.

Jagon's stainless steel ball valves not only comply with a variety of manufacturing standards and process technologies such as GB, JB, API, ANSI, ISO, BS, DIN, JIS, etc., but also are designed and manufactured in strict accordance with the requirements of process technology and drawing standards to ensure that the product structure and dimensions are fully in line with expectations. This versatility makes the products easily interchangeable in different occasions.

Applicable to electric power, petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries, Jagon's ball valve products to meet the needs of different industries, won the user's widespread recognition and praise.
