Elwood’s PREP program is designed to provide a service to our Preferred Customers to remanufacture their Elwood valves to 100% new condition for a fraction of the cost of buying a new replacement valve. This is a no questions asked program. Elwood will take your complete valve assembly in any condition, and remanufacture or replace it, and provide you with a full new warranty, the same warranty you get with a new valve. The cost to you is significantly less than what you would pay for a new valve.

Upon receipt of your valve, it is completely disassembled and inspected for damage or worn parts. All parts must meet Elwood’s quality standards, complying to engineering tolerances and material requirements. If a part does not pass inspection, including the body, it is replaced or reconditioned to 100% new condition. All soft seals and packings are 100% replaced. The valve is then assembled, tested, and painted (if required).

Your valve can also be upgraded with this program. For example, prior to remanufacture, if you would like to have the body material changed from carbon steel to stainless steel, all you would pay is the cost difference for the material and manufacturing of the body, instead of an entire new body made of stainless steel.
