Valve Stems
Figures 1 through 4 illustrate different styles of valves. Variances in valve stem packing materials, procedures, and
torque values will be present. The following procedures should be followed to reduce the chance for leaks.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 3
Figure 3 style contains an 'O' ring seal with a gland nut. However, DO NOT loosen the gland nut. If the gland nut is
loosened, the seal could be damaged and leak. If the 'O' ring does leak, it may be repaired by removing the gland
nut with a special tool, picking out, and carefully replacing the 'O' ring. Do NOT force the 'O' ring, as force may
shear the ring. Replace the gland nut using 96-120 inch pounds (11-14Nm) torque.

All torques in inch pounds (Newton meters).
Valve Stem Caps
To insure a leak free seal, all valve stem access caps must be employed, with sealing surfaces in good condition,
and tightened to the following:
Plastic caps with rubber gasket: Hand tighten only.
Metal cap with rubber gasket: Hand tighten only.
Metal cap with copper gasket: 40-50 inch pounds (4-6Nm)
Torque Patterns
For all cover plates (heads, bottom plates, shipping pads, valves, etc.) to achieve a proper seal, it is important when
applying torque to use a criss-cross pattern. Follow the steps below.
Do not apply torque in a circular pattern. For the initial torque, apply no more then 70% of the final torque
using a diagonal criss-cross pattern, similar to the example in Figure 5. Once the initial torque has been
applied, apply the proper full torque value, again using a criss-cross pattern. Once the final torque has been
applied, start at any bolt, and circle the entire part in sequence. This will verify that a bolt has not been missed and
that final torque has been applied.
