A proactive maintenance program is the most cost-effective way to manage your fluid transfer assets. K&G Machinery recommends the following schedule: Daily/Pre-Use: Visual inspection for obvious damage, leaks, and ensure cam arms are fully engaged. Monthly: Detailed inspection: Check O-rings for wear/cuts, inspect cam arms and grooves for wear or deformation, verify labels/color-coding are intact. Clean couplings used with adhesives or setting materials. Annually: Comprehensive maintenance: Disassemble, clean all components, replace all O-rings as a set (not just the leaky one), lubricate cam arm pins with a compatible grease, and perform a function test. Record all findings. Use our downloadable checklist to track the history of each coupling, especially in critical service. This disciplined approach catches small issues before they cause production stops or safety incidents.
