Interactive horizontal timeline guide for maintaining gate valves with step-by-step animated instructions.

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

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

Remove dirt, scale, and debris from internal and external surfaces to maintain proper valve function.

Check bolts, nuts, and packing. Tighten or replace as needed 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.
