Climax Valve Lubricants

CLIMAX LUBRICANTS
Climax Lubricants & Equipment Company is a Plug, Ball & Gate Valve Lubricant/Sealant manufacturer. Climax has been manufacturing Valve Lubricants/Sealants, Valve Stem Packings and Valve Lubrication Equipment for Northern America and foreign countries for over 60 years. Climax Lubricants are made of the finest materials obtainable. They are constructed to act as a Hydraulic medium (to lift tapered plugs), seal against leakage and lubricate, in
order to make the valve operate at its lowest torque. You will notice we use a color code system in our lubricants: black, amber, green, red, etc., so there will be no confusion over which lubricant to use for a particular service. Climax Stick Lubricants are identified by letters: “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “G”, “H”, “J”, and “K”,
denoting size and a number indicating the formula. Sticks are packaged in boxes of “A”-96, “B”-72, “C”-32, “D”-28, “G”-13, “H”-24 sticks to a box. The “J” stick is 16 and the “K” stick is 12 per carton. The “J”-size stick is designed to fit the Climax Model 1699 Hydraulic plug valve lubricating gun and the “K” size stick is designed to fit the Climax 10516 & Roket 280 grease guns. Bulk Lubricant in 5-quart (4.7 liter) and 5 or 6-gallon (22.68 liter) cans are for use in the Model 10 and Model 40 bucket type air guns. Also available in bulk of larger quantities we offer 120 lb. (16-Gallon) and 400 lb. (55-Gallon) drums of lubricant.

THERE ARE 3 WAYS TO SERVICE VALVES
LUBRICANT MAINTENANCE
Periodic application of lubricant to valves is the only recommended maintenance necessary under normal conditions. Lubrication is essential to the proper operation of the valve. The sealant, actually being the soft bearing seat of the valve, requires replacement when depleted due to flow media, operating temperatures, pressures and frequency of cycles. Lubricant maintenance means injecting enough sealant into a valve to provide a sealant film between tapered plug and body to minimize sticking.
1. MANUAL INJECTION
Small lubricant sticks are for manual injection. Be sure to choose the proper Valve Sealant for the service considering line product, pressure and temperature.
HOW TO INJECT LUBRICANT MANUALLY:
1. Remove valve lubricant screw.
2. Insert the correct size of valve sealant stick and place it into the stem.
3. Replace the fitting and screw down with a wrench until the sealant system is filled completely. This is determined by the resistance produced by the sealant pressure. Larger valves will require several sticks or tubes of sealant due to the capacity of their sealant systems.
4. Continue to add sealant until the plug lifts (sometimes with a hissing sound) indicating the sealant system is full. When the plug lifts, effort to turn the lubricating screw will be noticeably reduced.
5. If the plug fails to respond or continues to be difficult to turn, check with an authorized dealer.
CLIMAX FITTING AS A SEALANT SCREW
The one piece Climax Fitting can also be used to maintain sealant pressure between mechanical injection periods if used as a sealant screw. After the valve is properly lubricated, remove the lubricant screw, insert another stick of sealant and screw the fitting down until the fitting threads are totally engaged in the stem. The fitting will then extend one or two inches, providing that much more sealant capacity in the stem. The additional sealant capacity can be used as an auxiliary reservoir for further lubrication. The valve can then be pressurized by screwing in the fitting as a sealant screw as explained. When the fitting is finally turned into the valve as far as it will go, it indicates additional sealant should be added.
IMPORTANT: EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN TO PREVENT ANY FOREIGN MATTER FROM ENTERING THE VALVE’S SEALANT SYSTEM.
