Hey, Got a weird one on a exam recently and i wanted to share and see what you guys come
up with.



Q:You want to close a gatevalve to drain down and the after performing maintience, the
valve wont open again do you:
A= Get a pair of stillsons and open it with force
B= Apply Heat and try to open
C=Drain down again and replace valve
D= SOME STUPID ANSWER (cant remember)

Now im commercial, and We would grab some stillys and try and open it,
if that didn't work change the valve, so I put A, never did find out if i got
it right or not, which answer would you have put?
 
Answer would probably be. ( C. ) change it , There expecting you to be professional , and make sure things work properly not force things or bodge things
 
D: Powerflush the system.
 
BG standard answer, advise custard to replace whole system as the gatevalve is obsolete
