Well, hello all, greetings from smoky (but maybe getting better) Oregon!
I have a very small leak from the valve stem of the LP tank valve on my
Birchaven. It's there when the valve is fully open so it is probably the
'top' seal if these things work like oxygen or argon bottles.
I don't really know as there is still a bit of gas in the tank but it
does not look like the valve can be repaired with a new packing - so
replacement looms when I bleed off the gas.
There was a similar thread about 8 years ago and a valve then cost about
$30. Now this one (with integral 312 psi overpressure relief) is $108 so
I want to be sure I am getting the right thing. Would a local RV parts
source have it? Seems like it should be a common part.
Is this the correct valve?
Thanks in advance
Stu
