Therefore, regular maintenance, standardized operation, and environmental protection can be used to avoid getting stuck! Below are separate explanations.<br \/>\n1. Operating standards (eliminate the root cause of valve jamming)<br \/>\nValve opening and closing techniques:<br \/>\nValve opening limit position: After the valve is fully opened, it must rotate half a turn\/1 turn to release the stress on the valve stem and avoid being stuck.<br \/>\nSlow operation: Rotate the handle evenly and avoid violent twisting (to prevent valve stem deformation).<br \/>\nProhibit incorrect operations:<br \/>\nDo not use a wrench to extend the lever arm and forcefully twist it (which may cause the valve stem to break).<br \/>\nThe closed state should not withstand high pressure differentials for a long time (accelerating sealing surface adhesion).<br \/>\n2. Active protection (critical maintenance item)<br \/>\nValve stem lubrication: Apply high-temperature silicon-based grease or graphite powder once every quarter.<br \/>\nRust prevention activity: Rotate fully open\/close at least 3 times a month.<br \/>\nSealing surface cleaning: Disassemble and remove welding slag and particulate matter annually.<br \/>\n3. Environmental adaptation (for high-risk scenarios)<br \/>\nWet\/coastal areas: Install corrugated pipe protective covers on valve stems to isolate salt spray; Check the valve body for chloride ion corrosion every week (with a focus on the flange neck).<br \/>\nLow temperature working conditions (below -20 \u2103): Low temperature cast steel material is selected; Maintain the temperature of the valve chamber above 0 \u2103 (anti icing and anti cracking) with tropical insulation.<br \/>\n4. Emergency handling (in case of slight jamming)<br \/>\nIf the resistance to handle rotation increases:<br \/>\nKnocking method: lightly tap the side of the valve body with a hammer to shake off rust residue (avoid directly tapping the valve stem);<br \/>\nPenetration method: Spray WD-40 special rust inhibitor and let it stand for 10 minutes for penetration;<br \/>\nThermal expansion method: Heat the valve body with a hair dryer to 60 \u2103 (no open flames!), and use metal expansion gaps.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9194\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ce4870c86c9148a5a9424ede9fb767eb-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ce4870c86c9148a5a9424ede9fb767eb-5-66x66.jpg 66w, http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ce4870c86c9148a5a9424ede9fb767eb-5-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ce4870c86c9148a5a9424ede9fb767eb-5-200x200.jpg 200w, http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ce4870c86c9148a5a9424ede9fb767eb-5-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ce4870c86c9148a5a9424ede9fb767eb-5.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If the cas [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9194,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[1036],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9193"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9193"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9193\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9195,"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9193\/revisions\/9195"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
