What if my valve is damaged or non-functional?
We still buy it. Non-functional valves have value for parts, refurbishment, or material recovery. A 4" CF8M Stainless Steel valve body alone has significant scrap metal value.
Seat Damage/Scoring: Metal seats develop scoring from pipeline debris (sand, scale, weld slag). Causes through-leakage that worsens over time. Most common in Pow-R-Seal valves after 5-7 years of service.
Repair: Seat lapping or replacement. Remove gate, lap seat faces to 2-3 helium light bands flatness. If scoring exceeds 0.010", seats must be replaced. Lead time: 2-3 weeks for seat machining.
Body/Bonnet Gasket Leak: Spiral wound gasket between body and bonnet develops leak due to bolt relaxation from thermal cycling. External leak visible at body-bonnet joint.
Repair: Replace spiral wound gasket (typically 316SS/graphite). Re-torque body bolts to proper sequence and values. Lead time: 3-5 days.
Emergency (24/7): 24-72 hours — expedited machining, air freight parts
