What to do if GEM 600 Control Unit valve leaks downstream?
- DDarlene SanchezAug 15, 2025
If the GEM Control Unit valve doesn't close completely and leaks downstream, it might be due to several reasons. The operating pressure or control pressure could be too high or too low, so ensure they match the specifications in the data sheet. Also, check if the control medium is properly connected, especially for NO and DA control functions. Foreign matter may be lodged between the diaphragm and valve body weir; remove the actuator and clear any debris, inspecting both parts for damage. The valve body weir or the valve diaphragm itself could be damaged and need replacement. For GEMÜ 600 models, verify the manual override is correctly set. Finally, a faulty actuator spring (for NC control function) could also be the culprit, requiring actuator replacement.
