Learn how to use Swagelok’s rebuilding kits for manually actuated and remotely actuated valves. Each kit contains detailed instructions on how to adjust or replace the packing or rebuild the valve if needed, and this video demonstrates the specifics of how it is done.
If you're handling Swagelok's manually operated valves and need to fine-tune the stem packing or contemplate a full rebuild, Swagelok has got you covered. Our rebuild kits are handy for all manually operated valves and a good number of remotely operated ones too. Each includes detailed instructions that walk you through adjusting or replacing the packing, or doing a total valve overhaul if needed:
- Repacking Instructions for 31 Series Metering Valves
- Repacking Instructions for N and HN Series Valves
- Repacking Instructions for O,1,18,20,26 Series Integral Bonnet Needle Valves
