Flush valves feature corrosion-resistant glass fused onto a metal surface, typically composed of gray iron or steel. However, the use of gray iron is restricted due to its lack of ductility and susceptibility to thermal shock. The glass lining on flush valves is prone to thermal shock, mechanical damage, and the failure of CRT gaskets over time. Consequently, valve bodies and stems may experience wear or damage with prolonged use.
Instead of opting for costly valve replacements, we offer a more economical solution by reconditioning the valves. Our services encompass rebuilding or reglassing glass-lined flush valves of all sizes. Upon receiving the valves, our skilled technicians conduct a meticulous inspection to identify any issues. Our reconditioning process involves removing the enamel from the body and stem, followed by reglassing and spark testing to ensure durability. Additionally, we replace the seat, packing, and bolts, as well as any worn components. Prior to shipment, each valve undergoes a pressure test to guarantee optimal performance.
We also provide various optional enhancements, including zinc coating for exposed metal surfaces, Hastelloy bolts for improved corrosion resistance, Halar exterior coating for enhanced protection, and the inclusion of RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) technology for temperature monitoring.
