Maintenance General LOHSE valves are virtually maintenance free and easy to service. The maintenance tasks vary depending on the valve type and the operating conditions. To ensure optimum operation of the valve and a long service life, it must be regularly serviced. Regularly inspect the valve, the attached actuator and all accessories to ensure safe and trouble-free operation.
Cleaning of the valve Dirt can impair the operation of the valve and must therefore be removed. Clean moving valve parts under consideration of safety instructions. Lubrication of the valve Moving parts (valve plate, stem) must be lubricated every 30 days with a product that is suitable for the operating range, conditions and medium.
If it is not possible to seal the leak by retightening the bolts, replace the packing seal (for details, see service instructions for the respective valve type). Type plate Type designation L number When ordering wear and spare parts, always quote the type designation and the L number (see type plate).
