Repair the bleed-down valve
Failure to correct the cause of a leak can result in damage to the fittings.
CAUTION
Overtightening a fitting can cause it to fail. Use 2 wrenches when loosening or tightening a high-pressure
connection. Using only 1 wrench can increase bending stress to the parts and cause damage or premature
failure.
CAUTION
Repair or replace parts identified in the preventive maintenance schedule or if the parts show signs of
deterioration, corrosion, or damage.
Put the parts on a clean, dry, oil-free surface.
Replace the bleed-down valve body after every 3,000 hours of operation.
Replace this part if water leaks from the wastewater outlet or from the weep holes while the pump is running.
