body
Gasket defective
Upper housing part not tightened
correctly
Diaphragm wear
Valve body defective
Diaphragm not correctly installed/
aligned
Diaphragm wear
Gasket wear
Wear of the gaskets and diaphragms
Incorrect control pressure level selected
Function and connections for control
medium do not match
Defective aeration and venting line
Diaphragm not correctly installed/
aligned
Pressure in the piping system too high
Foreign body between diaphragm and
valve body
Components defective
Wear of the spindle or gaskets
Pipe forces are too high
Material are not sufficiently resistant
Medium is contaminated
