During inspection, if the T valve is not centered, what action should you take?

• A. Rotate the cover
• B. Tighten the bolts
• C. Replace the valve
• D. Realign the T valve

Answer: (A)

Rotating the cover is the fix when a T valve isn’t centered. Turning the cover repositions the internal valve element so it lines up with the seat and connected piping, restoring proper alignment without taking the valve apart. Tightening bolts won’t correct the offset and can risk damage, and replacing the valve isn’t needed if the issue is just misalignment. Re-aligning the valve itself isn’t the intended step—the cover rotation is what re-centers it.
