GEKO Valve Maintenance Process
1.Disassembly: Remove actuator → bonnet → plug/disc → sleeve/seal
2.Replacement Parts (Full Overhaul): PFA/PTFE sleeve, stem seal, bearings, O-rings, actuator maintenance
3.Assembly: Align plug/disc, pre-tighten seal evenly, follow torque standards, smooth full-stroke operation
4.Pressure Test: Body 1.5× nominal pressure, Seal 1.1×, hold ≥5 min, zero leakage, test certificate required
