<div class="moz-cite-prefix">This also serves as a good reminder to
flush all valve / piping components, and newly assembled systems
with everything fully open, before placing in service in order to
eliminate any particles that could cause damage, and to employ
filters upstream of sensitive valves. I typically use a 40 micron
filter between the gas supply (or point subject to frequent
connection / disconnection) and any sensitive valves in any system
where doing so is not prohibited by flow rate requirements.<br>

<div>Thanks for the info Sean. My valve that failed had a ever so
slight leak from the get go. Over the winter it was in the
closed position and when I charged the system, it had a pretty
noticable leak. The other two valves work great. I am going to
order another valve and run it this season with alot of dives
and see how she works.</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
