Kep-O-seal valves require careful handling and installation to ensure zero leakage and trouble-free service. Key installation tips include:
- Install valves with the flow arrow pointing in the direction of flow.
- Handle valves carefully to avoid damaging precision threads.
- Ensure pipe, tubing, and valve ends are clean to prevent contaminants from causing leakage.
- Use pipe dope carefully on male threads to avoid fouling valve seats.
- Provide proper support to prevent strain and distortion from sagging pipes.
- Avoid shock surges and vibration to prevent stress on internal components.
- Verify the valve model, material, O-Ring, and spring setting to meet specific requirements.
Kepner valves emphasize zero leakage and offer several features:
- The Flexible Seal Seat design minimizes O-Ring wear and ensures long service life.

Our unique Flexible Seal Seat assures bubble-tight performance. The Kepner Flexible Seal Seat design offers positive leakage control of liquid or gas. The seat design is a carefully engineered combination of metal-to-metal and resilient O-Ring seal contact. The O-Ring is securely retained at the seat rather than on the poppet, protecting it from the destructive abrading and blasting effect of the flow; seal life is extended. Seat “wire drawing” common to conventional valves has been eliminated by the Flexible Seal Seat design. The seal closes around scratches, dents, and other irregularities...
