It threads show signs of distortion, deformation, or burring, rectify these faults. Excessive thread damage or serious deformation of the valve body, hand wheel, spindle or other components is cause for replacement. Maintenance of the valve includes general cleaning together with replacement of elastomers and worn or damaged components, packing and safety devices, where necessary. Where the use of lubricants/elastomers is permitted, use only those approved for the gas service, particularly oxidising gas service. After the valve has been re-assembled cheok for leskage and correct operation. ‘This can be done prior to the valve being refitted to the cylinder, or during and after the first gas charge subsequent to the inspection and test of the cylinder.
