C. Plugged inlet strainer. C. Remove strainer screen and clean; consider
leaving screen out.
D. Plugged trim. D. Remove trim and check for plugged holes in

Possible Causes Remedies
A. Normal-life diaphragm failure. A. Replace diaphragm.
B. Abnormal short-life diaphragm failure. B1. Can be caused by excessive chattering. See No.

B2. Can be caused by corrosive action. Consider
alternate diaphragm material.
B3. For composition diaphragms, ensure not subject-
ing to over-temperature conditions.
B4. Downstream (outlet) pressure buildup occuring
that overstresses diaphragms.
B5. Shutoff of valve inlet pressure while loading
pressure is still on.
C. Pusher plate gasket or O-Ring leaking. C. Replace gasket and O-ring.
