Replace Packing on an Eccentric Plug Valve

If you need to Replace Packing on a DeZURIK Eccentric Plug Valve but removing the actuator isn’t practical, this detailed tutorial is exactly what you need. Keeping your DeZURIK Eccentric Plug Valve properly packed is essential for ensuring leak-free performance and extending valve life. In this video, you’ll receive clear, step-by-step instructions on how to replace the packing without the need to remove the actuator.

DeZURIK’s adjustable V-ring packing system features four separate rings that work together to seal the valve stem. Each ring is capable of independently sealing the stem, and the multiple rings provide added protection from stem leakage. In the event of stem leakage, the eccentric plug valves feature an open space between the valve cover and actuator, preventing leakage from entering the actuator. This space allows for easy inspection, adjustment, and even packing replacement without removing the actuator—a feature not available with nonadjustable packing designs.

This tutorial covers everything you need to know, including the tools required, essential safety precautions, and best practices for handling the packing material. You’ll also learn how to stagger the ring joints for a better seal and use proper tightening techniques to ensure long-term valve performance.

Designed for maintenance crews, plant operators, and technicians, this guide helps minimize downtime and keep your valve systems running smoothly. Whether you’re new to valve maintenance or an experienced technician in need of a refresher, this video will give you the confidence and know-how to replace packing quickly and correctly.

Additionally, for high-temperature or corrosive applications, optional PTFE V-ring packing is available to ensure your valve performs under extreme conditions.
