Maintainance on descontinued FCC Valves

Maintainance on descontinued FCC Valves

Maintainance on descontinued FCC Valves

(OP)
I have to fix the seat on a valve that is not produced anymore nor the valve or the spares. This is a three piece trunnion supportes ball valve, this valves have the seat ( Reinforced PTFE) integrated with a seat holder made of A105N/ENP so in order to change the seat i have to be able to found another seat holder with the seat integrated the problem is that they dont produce anymore of them. I found a diferent brand PBV wich have the same design on the valve but im not shure if it will work. Any sugestions on this topic?

RE: Maintainance on descontinued FCC Valves


This is depending on where you are in the world, the price of transport you can accept and the timeframe available. Apart from this there is a number of valve service companies that can, and are willing to repair, retest and recertify almost any valve in the world. All companies will have limits on how large valves and weights they can handle, some might in addition have to test valves at sub-suppliers.

Regarding integrated seatholder with seat this might be a problem, as you point out. If redesign or special forms is necessary all signs point to a complete new valve.
