Table 7: Packing Adjustment
Do not overtighten packing.
Overtightened packing can cause excessive packing wear and
high stem friction that may impede plug movement.
If leakage cannot be stopped, the packing must be replaced.
Tighten the bonnet bolting nuts. See Section 13: Disassembly
and Reassembly for instructions. Also see Table 4 in Section 10.
Avoid critical operating conditions if excess noise or
vibration levels occur during operation.
Internal valve failure requires an immediate overhaul or control
valve replacement by qualified stuff.
