Stick Service Procedure

(Manual Injection)

1. Place valve in fully open or fully closed position. (Recommended position is open since valve will lubricate under pressure much easier.

2. Remove combination sealant screw and insert the appropriate size/type sealant stick into the stem.

3. Replace the sealant screw and slowly turn the screw until the telltale ring of sealant is observed around the valve stem at neck of the valve.

4. Rotate valve to opposite position of that originally set in step 1. Repeat step 3.

5. Add sealant as necessary to obtain telltale sealant ring.

6. Rotate plug several times to properly distribute the sealant about the valve plug.

7. Repeat above steps as necessary.

Note: Larger valves MAY require several sticks of sealant due to the capacity of the sealant injection system.
