Repacking:

• Turn off the water supply to the valve your working on.

 

• Drain off water to the valve being repacked.

 

• Turn the valve off (by turning clockwise) so the spindle goes into the valve.

 

• Undo the top/cover and remove so access is easier.

 

• Undo and remove gland securing nut (the nut holding the spindle).

 

• Remove old packing/washer that was under the nut at base of spindle.

 

• Replace with new washer or a suitable material like p.t.f.e. tape.

 

• Put valve back together.

 

• Fill and check for leaks.
