Packing Leak (Fugitive Emissions): PTFE or graphite packing develops leak at stem. Causes fugitive emissions that violate EPA LDAR requirements. Common after 5+ years or in high-cycle applications.
Repair: Replace packing set. Fisher ENVIRO-SEAL packing system provides <100 ppm emissions. Can be done in-line with valve under pressure using live-loading. Lead time: 1-3 days.
Seat Leakage (Class IV to VI): Valve fails to achieve required shutoff class. Causes include seat damage, thermal distortion, or foreign material between plug and seat.
Repair: Lap plug and seat ring to restore sealing surfaces. If damage exceeds 0.005", replace trim. For Class VI (bubble-tight) shutoff, soft seat inserts may be required. Lead time: 2-4 weeks.
