So I am about to install my third brass prop valve from inline tube. Every one I have installed so far has leaked out of the front rubber boot that covers the valve. I called inline tube and they ADMITTED to me that 15/100 of these style prop valves fail and leak from that valve. Doesn't 15/100 seem a little bit high?? And they came right out and admitted it!
Now I know that they do not manufacture these prop valves and apparentlly their supplier is the only company who makes these units.
The one I have is a stock replacement, made of brass and has a 70/30 valving. They do make a solid brass one which has no front valve (leaking part!!) but that is rated at 50/50 valving.
Currently looking for solutions....
