I got the 530 brass valve.Silicon jell. Where can I get this stuff? Also where did you order the kit from? Sounds much better priced.Maybe the drag on the valve that prevents closing is oxidation of the brass? How bout a treatment with diluted muratic acid to remove this oxidation? Rubbing alcohol would not do the trick for my dometic 182b brass orifice, but muritic did. Oxidation almost closed this orifice completely after 20 years. |
