Interactive timeline guide to maintain gate valves efficiently and prevent operational issues.

Check valve body, stem, and flanges for leaks, cracks, or corrosion. Early detection prevents major failures.

Apply manufacturer-approved lubricants to stems, packing, and moving parts to ensure smooth operation.

Remove dust, scale, and debris from internal and external surfaces to maintain proper valve operation.

Check bolts, nuts, and packing. Tighten or replace as necessary to prevent leaks.

Operate the valve fully to verify smooth movement, proper sealing, and absence of unusual noise.

Identify and resolve stiffness, leakage, noise, or misalignment promptly.
