Box 16386\nHouston, Texas 77022\nDear Mr. Hughes\nThis is in response to your letter dated March 29, 1982, inquiring whether use of remanufactured valves can\nbe in compliance with 49 CFR Part 195.\nAlthough Part 195 does not use the term “remanufactured” with reference to valves, their use is not\nprecluded by Part 195. For purposes of compliance with §195.116, there is no distinction between new and\nremanufactured valves. Therefore, Part 195 requirements apply to both new and remanufactured valves.\nWe hope this fully answers your question.\nSincerely,\nSIGNED\nMelvin A. Judah\nActing Associate Director for\nPipeline Safety Regulation\nMaterials Transportation Bureau\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nHouston Valve & Repair Company\nP.O.

We have been soliciting valve repair work from the\npipeline industry, and on numerous occasions, have been told by the pipeline companies that the Department\nof Transportation would not allow remanufactured valves in pipeline operations.\nI have available a set of the Minimum Federal Safety Standards for Liquid Pipelines, relating to transportation\nof liquids by pipeline (Part 195, Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations); these regulations do not cover this\nsubject. I would appreciate very much if you would clarify the regulations on this matter.\nSincerely,\nDon Hughes\nSales Manager","truncated":false,"body_characters":1590}
