I got the 530 brass valve.Silicon jell. Where can I get this stuff? Also
where did you order the kit from? Sounds much better priced.Maybe the drag
on the valve that prevents closing is oxidation of the brass? How bout a
treatment with diluted muratic acid to remove this oxidation? Rubbing
alcohol would not do the trick for my dometic 182b brass orifice, but
muritic did. Oxidation almost closed this orifice completely after 20 years.
