"Cover Machining is installed on upper section of Solenoid Valve and it allows for the electrical connection to the valve solenoid and protects inside wiring of the solenoid from environmental condition.

With O-ring sealing capability diminished, Valcor cannot ensure that valves with Cover Machining Installed on Solenoid Assembly will perform its safety function during all postulated events. | |||
"This item has historically been manufactured by machining a casting. For the lot involved, castings were not available. Authorization was given to manufacture the Cover directly from suitable bar stock. To accomplish this, Valcor's vendor used the casting drawing and casting machining drawing to manufacture the finished machined part. The combination of these two drawings had insufficient control on the corner radius, resulting in this nonconformance. | |||
"All defective covers in stock have been quarantined and a nonconformance report has been generated. Lack of location controlling dimension on the Cover Machining drawing for 0.190 radius was discovered to be the root cause of the defect.
