Yearly Maintenance Program

Manufacturer's recommend that control valves and related pilot systems be rebuilt every 5 years and inspected and tested every year.  FLOWTECH's  yearly maintenance program includes all this and more. The rebuild portion of our maintenance program consists of the following.

                THE REBUILD

• Replace all rubber parts in the main valve and related pilots.
• All metal parts are cleaned and inspected. Metal parts are only replaced when needed and with your prior approval.
• Recalibrate the valve and pilots to their previous setting or to the new ones you specify. Set points are recorded for your reference.
• Valve restarted and fully tested.

Each proceeding year, we will conduct a maintenance inspection of all the valves in the maintenance agreement. Yearly maintenance inspections consist of the following.

• Diaphragm test - The valve will be tested by cycling the valve fully open and closed. This process will remove all build up on the stem and ensure the valve maintains a drip-tight seal between the disk and seat.
• Inspect strainers - All strainers are inspected and cleaned if necessary.
• Valve and pilot system set points are checked to insure proper calibration.
• Exercise the inlet and outlet gate valves.
  

All that is required to begin a yearly maintenance program with us is to schedule a valve inventory and system analysis. The purpose of this is twofold.

• Document each valve in your system for your reference and to provide you with a preventative maintenance program to prolong the useful life of your valves. This documentation is presented in a way that is also helpful for you in procuring budgeting.
• During our tour of your system we can identify problems or potential problems to prevent expensive emergency repairs and costly down time. It is not uncommon for us to find valves that are not performing as intended. Whether it be from age or not being installed correctly.

 When the inventory and system analysis is complete, we take this information to present to you a detailed maintenance proposal.
