What we see on FAAC gates in Grapevine

A FAAC moves the gate with hydraulic pressure: a motor runs a pump, and fluid pushes the ram. Grapevine’s older housing stock means some of these units have been in service a long time, and that age shows up as worn seals, lost fluid and pressure that no longer finishes the stroke. Near Grapevine Lake moisture is the other factor. An in-ground unit such as the 750 or 770 sits in a box under the hinge, and if that box does not drain, water reaches the operator and its connections.

The sequence is fluid level and condition, then pressure against FAAC’s figures, then seals and the release valve, which on the hydraulic units is a keyed bypass and a genuine wear item. The 455 D board used with the hydraulic swing operators is a known failure point on older installs and is replaceable once confirmed. A 400 or 402 arm is rarely too old to service. Replacement is for physical damage to the housing or ram. We repair FAAC gates in Heritage Oaks, Original Town and off SH 26 Ira E. Woods Ave.

FAAC gate repair in Grapevine: questions

Our in-ground FAAC near Grapevine Lake keeps having problems. Is the location the cause?

It may well be. An in-ground operator sits in a foundation box below the hinge, and where the ground holds water the box can flood if its drain is blocked or was never connected. Water damages the operator and corrodes the connections over time. We clear and test the drain, check for water ingress, and service the operator itself while we are there.

Why is my FAAC gate slow some mornings?

Hydraulic fluid thickens when it is cold, so a FAAC can run noticeably slower on a cold morning and normally by afternoon. That is expected behavior. If it is slow in mild weather too, low fluid from a seal leak or a pressure fault is the likelier cause, and both of those are repairs we carry out on site.
