Everyone who applies butter to the valve screw – why do you do that?

Is everyone still applying grease to the valve screw? May I ask why? These days, the screw rods of valves are mostly made of stainless steel. Isn’t applying butter meant to prevent rust?

It also serves a lubricating function; otherwise, the screw and the copper sleeve would rub against each other directly on a regular basis, which would easily lead to wear.

Show me one that doesn’t use butter, especially domestic valves: @DN150 304 gate valves that can support a person’s weight without moving when secured with an F bolt

First, it serves as a lubricant during switching; second, it prevents corrosion

Lubrication and corrosion protection – these valves are generally quite large, with a relatively low switching frequency; without sufficient lubrication, corrosion protection is not possible
