We know that most wear-resistant cast basalt valves require very little maintenance, meaning that most wear-resistant cast basalt valves do not need frequent repairs.

We know that most wear-resistant cast stone valves require very little maintenance, meaning that most wear-resistant cast stone valves do not need frequent repairs. However, sometimes even a small problem like a simple stem leak can become a big problem due to negligence. Even worse, some reckless operators fail to close the cast stone valve according to technical specifications, leading to stem bending or serious damage to the closing device. Such situations occur frequently.

The threaded connection between the stem nut and the stem should be lubricated regularly with lubricating oil. This not only reduces friction between them but also extends their service life. This is also a very important protective measure. If a worn stem nut is still in use, it may break, and the entire axial force of the stem will not be supported, causing the wear-resistant valve to fail. The bending of the stem may be caused by the operator excessively turning the handwheel after closing the wear-resistant cast stone valve.
