Greetings all!
I am midway through a black tank replacement / system upgrade on our
Birchaven and have acquired a couple of Valterra valves that will
eventually be situated under the coach and not quite within reach when I
need to open / close them. So I want to build some valve shaft
extensions to make them accessible.
It appears that the valve handles are threaded onto the valve shafts but
applying a bit of twisting force to the handle while holding the shaft
with pliers didn't unscrew it.
On the plastic handle casting there's a slight indentation that looks
like either a set screw or roll pin may be involved but a deeper visual
inspection doesn't really bear that hypothesis out.
Rather than using the BFH style approach and regretting it - Do these
valve handles actually unscrew or is there a secret code to the process?
Thanks in advance
Stu
