How to Perform Daily Maintenance and Care for Brass Valves

Brass valves are widely used in various industrial and domestic equipment, and their normal operation and extended service life rely on regular maintenance and care. This article will provide a detailed analysis of how to perform daily maintenance and care for copper valves from aspects such as cleaning, inspection and repair, lubrication, static electricity protection, storage and handling, and operational precautions.

Cleaning

  1. Regular Cleaning: Regularly clean the brass valve to remove surface dirt, dust, and other impurities. This can be done using a soft cloth or a specialized cleaning agent.
  2. Avoid Damage: When cleaning, avoid using overly rough tools or chemical solvents to prevent damage to the valve surface.

Inspection and Repair

  1. Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect various parts of the brass valve, such as the valve body, valve cover, valve stem, and seals, to ensure they are intact and there are no leaks.
  2. Timely Repair: If defects or damage are found, repair or replace the valve in a timely manner. For example, if a valve is leaking, check the seals and replace any damaged parts.
  3. Maintain Flexibility: For valves that have not been used for a long time, regularly perform opening and closing operations to ensure their flexibility and reliability.

Lubrication

  1. Appropriate Lubrication: Depending on the usage and environmental conditions of the brass valve, regularly add an appropriate amount of lubricant. The choice of lubricant should be based on the specific type and working environment of the valve.
  2. Avoid Contamination: When adding lubricant, ensure not to overdo it to avoid contaminating or clogging the valve.
  3. High-Quality Lubricants: For valves that require frequent operation, consider using high-quality lubricants with anti-wear and anti-corrosion properties.

Static Electricity Protection

  1. Check Static Protection Devices: For copper flange ball valves and other valves with static protection devices, regularly check if these devices are functioning properly to ensure the valve’s static protection capabilities.
  2. Timely Repair: If issues with the static protection devices are found, repair or replace them promptly.

Storage and Handling

  1. Storage Environment: When not using brass valves for an extended period, store them in a dry, ventilated warehouse, avoiding direct sunlight and rain.
  2. Prevent Damage: During storage, prevent the valves from being subjected to impacts, compression, or other physical damage.
  3. Regular Operation: If the valves need to be stored for a long time, it is advisable to periodically perform opening and closing operations to ensure their flexibility and reliability.

Operational Precautions

  1. Gentle Operation: When using brass valves, operate them gently to avoid damaging the components due to accidental operations or excessive force.
  2. Prevent Over-Rotation: During the opening and closing operations, prevent over-rotation and appropriately shorten the valve stem stroke to avoid twisting or breaking the valve stem.
  3. Avoid Impact: Do not knock on, stand on, or support heavy objects on the valve to prevent damage or affect its normal operation.

Conclusion

Performing daily maintenance and care for brass valves is crucial for ensuring their normal operation and extending their service life. By regularly cleaning, inspecting and repairing, lubricating, protecting against static electricity, properly storing and handling, and adhering to operational precautions, the stability and reliability of brass valves can be effectively guaranteed. Developing good maintenance habits not only improves the efficiency of brass valves but also reduces the occurrence of faults and saves repair costs.
