Valve Stem Packing Adjustment
The block valve stem packing nut is adjusted from the factory to pass a 550 psi (37 .9 bar)
leak test . If the process pressure being sampled is less than the maximum rating of the
valve, a looser stem packing adjustment may be desirable for ease of manipulation and
longer seal life .
To adjust the stem packing nut, remove the block valve handle and loosen or tighten the
packing nut using the optional valve packing nut wrench (see DBB Tools list) .
