11-6.  Application to existing control valves
If Certified ISO 15848-1 low emission gland packing is used for an existing control valve, 
please note the following:
 
If there are scratches on the inner surface of the stuffing box or the surface of the stem of 
the current valve, the specified seal performance of Certified ISO 15848-1 low emission 
gland packing may not be achieved. If scratches are found, replace the affected parts with 
new ones.
 
Check if Certified ISO 15848-1 low emission gland packing can be used for the current 
valve and actuator by referring to the specification sheet for Certified ISO 15848-1 low 
emission gland packing (SS2-SSL100-0100) or by contacting us.  Because the resistance to 
sliding of Certified ISO 15848-1 low emission gland packing is greater than general gland 
packing systems, it may not be possible to use Certified ISO 15848-1 low emission gland 
packing with the current actuator. In addition, if it is used with the actuator, the shutoff 
differential pressure will decrease. If supply air pressure to the actuator is increased in 
order to meet the required shutoff differential pressure, check that the specifications for the 
pressure gauge of the positioner and pressure reducing valve are satisfied and that there is 
no effect on the pressure at the source. 
 
Check if the operating temperature range of the gland packing (main packing and adapter 
packing) of Certified ISO 15848-1 low emission gland packing meets the temperature 
requirements of the current control valve. Attention is needed for expanded graphite 
Certified ISO 15848-1 low emission gland packing in particular, because the operating 
temperature high limit of the main packing used for this packing system is lower than that 
of general expanded graphite packings.

If this product is no longer needed, dispose of it appropriately as industrial waste, in 
accordance with local regulations. Do not reuse all or any part of it.
