Troubleshooting Guide
No fluid flow
If valve operating air pressure is
too low, the valve will not open.
Increase air pressure to 70 psi
(4.8 bar) minimum.
The reservoir air pressure may not 
be high enough. Increase pressure.
The dispensing tip may be clogged.
Replace tip.
The stroke adjustment may be
closed. Open stroke adjustment.
Fluid may have solidified in the fluid
body. Clean the fluid body.
Fluid supply line is installed in blind
mounting hole. Remove and reinstall
properly.
Fluid drools after the valve closes,
eventually stopping
This is caused when air is trapped
in the outlet section of the fluid
body or the fluid has entrapped air.
The air will expand after the valve
closes, causing extrusion until the
air reaches atmospheric pressure. 
Purge the valve by dispensing at 
a steady flow until clear. If a small
tip is used, it may be necessary 
to remove the tip while purging to
obtain sufficient flow to carry the
air down through the tip adapter.
If the fluid has entrapped air, the
material must be degassed before
dispensing
.
Note: For stripes and lines, input air
pressure can be lowered to elimi-
nate opening surge.
Fluid drips at a steady rate after the
valve closes
A steady drip indicates failure of
the sealing head to close fully due
to particle buildup or wear. In either
case, replace the sealing head in
accordance with the maintenance
instructions.
Valve responds slowly when
opening and closing
Valve response is related to control
air hose length and size. The EFD
valve is supplied with 5 feet of 1/8”
tubing attached. Any additional
length or size change will affect
response time. Check to be sure
the length and size have not been
changed.
Fluid flows out of the drain hole
Fluid flowing out of the drain hole
indicates a ruptured diaphragm.
Replace in accordance with the
maintenance instructions.
Inconsistent deposits
Inconsistent deposits can result 
if the air pressure controlling the
valve and/or supplying the reservoir
is fluctuating or if the valve operating
pressure is less than 70 psi (4.8
bar). Check to be sure air pressures
are constant and the valve operating
pressure is 70 psi (4.8 bar).
The time the valve is open must 
be constant. Check to be sure 
the valve controller is providing a 
consistent output.
