TROUBLESHOOTING:
Problem: Valve chatters or has stability issues. Instability generally occurs when the valve sees an application that has
rapidly changing loads. (ie: Fan, Vibration, etc.) Because of these changing loads the compensator spool tries to compensate
rapidly. This causes the valve to become unstable, as well as begin to make noises, including a chatter.
Solution: Most instability issues can be solved by using a different compensator spool. A replacement spool designed for
load changing applications can be ordered. (Part #: XDC609) XDC609 must have a drilled orifice that correlates to the valves
flow rate.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Pipe Thread Sealant - Warranty is void when Teflon tape is used to seal pipe threads. This is because Teflon tape is a
friction reducing agent which allows customers to over-torque fittings. We recommend using a sealant that does not include
friction reducing agents i.e. Lead Plate.
