Subject:      Re: Repairing the propane turn on valve
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1


I know on some valves, there is a solid seal formed when the center plug is all the way up or all the way down. When it's in between, it relies on only an O-ring to seal and that is not designed to hold back the gas full time, it is intended only for valve operation.
 
Other valves need to be turned all the way in or out---then turned back a quarter turn after the stop.
 
Which style would a propane tank be?

Re: Repairing the propane turn on valve
 
Um, I set my valve to either on or off. What's the point of a partway
setting?
