Stem Packing Leak: Packing gland develops external leak due to thermal cycling, vibration, or age. Visible as weeping or dripping at the stem. Common after 3-5 years without maintenance.
Repair: Replace packing rings (typically 5-ring Grafoil set). Torque gland bolts to manufacturer spec. Can often be done in-line without valve removal. Lead time: 1-3 days with parts on hand.
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.
Complete overhaul: 4-8 weeks — full teardown, all internals replaced, hydro tested
