Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between a ball valve and a gate valve?

A. While both are used to control the flow of fluids, gate valves use a gate-like disk to block or allow flow, whereas ball valves use a spherical ball with a hole. Ball valves are generally quicker to operate but may have a slightly higher pressure drop than gate valves.

Q. What are the steps for the maintenance of this Milwaukee gate valve?

A.

• Adjust the stem packing & the cycling of the valve from open to closed position periodically.
• In case of a packing leak, increase the pressure on the stem packing by adjusting the packing gland nut in the clockwise direction until the leakage stops.
• The packing should be changed whenever a new stem is installed.
