Maintenance:

The only maintenance required on lubricated plug valves is

periodic re-lubrication (sealing) with valve sealant. Use only the
plug valve sealant approved for the service.

The frequency of re-lubrication must be established for each

specific service. As a general guideline, the valve should be re_lubricated
as follows:

Number of Valve Cycles Maintenance Interval

1 - 30 Times Monthly
Less Frequently Three times Annually

Note: Intervals shown are approximate and may vary based on the
specific flow media, temperature, pressure and age/condition of the
valve. The intervals can best be determined by experience and can be
lengthened or shortened according to each individual situation.

Kv is defined as flow in cubic meters per hour of water (temp 5 to 40 deg C) passing through the valve
when pressure drop is 1 bar across the valve.

Cv is defined as the volume of water (Gallon per Minute in the United States) at 60°F that will flow
through a fully open valve with a pressure differential of 1 psi across the valve
