Sherwood GV Industrial Valve Safety Notice
3 / 4"-16 UNF Straight Thread Only w/ CGA 540, 580, 326, and BS 3 Outlets
In 2006, a design modification was made to the inlet connection on the 3 /4"-16 UNF Straight Thread valves with CGA 540, 580, 326, and BS 3 outlet connections. Recently we have been informed certain torques applied during installation may cause a fracture in the 3 / 4"-16 UNF valve inlet thread.
Strictly as a precautionary measure, Sherwood recommends that valves with the part numbers below marked with the date codes of 05/06 (May 2006) through 06/07 (June 2007) be safely removed from service and returned for replacement.
