- Clean all connection points thoroughly
- Apply appropriate thread sealant (for threaded connections)
- Torque to manufacturer specifications
- Perform a pressure test before putting into service
Drain Valve FAQ Section
How often should I inspect my drain valve?
We recommend inspecting your drain valve at least quarterly under normal operating conditions. For harsh environments or critical applications, monthly inspections are advised. Look for signs of wear, leakage, or corrosion during these inspections.
What maintenance does a drain valve require?
Regular maintenance for drain valves includes lubricating moving parts (if applicable), checking and replacing seals as needed, and cleaning any accumulated debris. Always use manufacturer-recommended lubricants and replacement parts to maintain warranty coverage.
Can I replace just the seal on my drain valve?
In most cases, yes - our drain valves are designed with replaceable seals to extend service life. However, if the valve body shows significant corrosion or wear, complete replacement is recommended for optimal performance and safety.
