(electrical connections, pneumatic connections, instruments…). All CMO valves are tested at its facilities, however, during the handling and transport the screws on the packing gland can come loose and must be re-tightened. Once the valve is installed in the pipeline and it has been pressurised, it is very important to check for any leakages from the packing gland to the atmosphere.

KNIFE GATE VALVE - SERIE GL Taking into account the recommendations indicated, below we indicate the maintenance operations carried out in this type of equipment: SLEEVES REPLACING THE SEALING JOINT 1. Make sure there is absolutely no pressure and fl uid in the installation.
The maintenance of these cylinders is simple, if your need to replace any elements and you have any questions please consult CMO Valves. Below is an exploded diagram of the pneumatic actuator and a list of the cylinder’s components. The top cover and the support cover are usually made of aluminium, but from pneumatic cylinders greater than Ø200 mm, they are made of cast...
