Maintenance
The Slam Shut parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected and replaced as they become worn. The
frequency of the inspection and replacement of the parts depends on the severity of the service conditions and/
or the applicable government requirements.
Inspect all parts for wear and damage. Replace all worn and damaged parts as necessary. Replace all seals
when tearing down and rebuilding the Slam Shut valve assembly.
