As a result, end users may want to consider extending the life of their valves and actuators by investing in maintenance and repair options that keep them running at optimal levels.<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The three most important principles you should keep in mind are selection, installation, and maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n Valve selection<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n For optimal performance, it\u2019s important to choose the right valve for your application. Using the wrong valve can lead to leakage or failure of the valve after installation.<\/span><\/p>\n Misaligned, misapplied and valve leaks are a serious concern affecting many industries. A persistent problem is misapplication, due to contractors failing to ask the right questions during the quoting phase. The basic question you always need to ask is, “What is the media?
