  If the Samson Control Unit valve leaks to the atmosphere, it could be due to several reasons. The packing might be defective and require replacement. If you have a version with adjustable packing, it may not be tightened correctly, so try adjusting it. If leakage persists, contact after-sales service. Also, check the flange joint for looseness or a worn-out gasket; replace the gasket if necessary.
