Click on the links at the right to display technical information for the valve types and sizes listed. Contact us by phone or e-mail if you are unsure of the type of VRL valve that you need service information for, or to obtain information for valves not currently listed.
Servicing Products in the Field
The uncomplicated design of our valves makes servicing easy. Dismantling requires no training or practice, and reassembly errors are almost impossible. VRL valves do not require any routine matintenance, however it is necessary to prevent the accumulation of dust and debris inside the valve. If you do disassemble the valve for cleaning we recommend that the O-rings be replaced. O-ring kits for the valves are included in the instruction manuals for the valve type.
Returning Products for Service
To return a valve please call us with some basic information and we will provide you with an RGA number which will be used to track your valve through our repair process. Warranty repairs are FOB the factory. Shipping costs to and from the factory are the customer’s responsibility. Non-warranty repairs are performed at a nominal charge plus parts needed. Please call for quotation before shipping.
