water manifold - InfiLights - 07-11-2016

   
Hello all,

Trying to identify the markings on the panel and would appreciate some insight as to what the FW and HB would stand for ?
I think they were relabeled at some time....

HB i assume is hose bib. the one in that same water bay

some words of caution. those valves dry out. so if you try to turn them off and back on, they will have a good chance of leaking. ask me how i know.

in ruidoso, i tried to adjust the flow of the rear toilet. i did, and the valve kept leaking. richard and i went to town to a plumbing supply place and i got new valves and we took the guts out and replace it. i have since bought enogh new valves to do them all.

i will post later the valve i got.

on my 2002, (and i think they used the same valves for a longgggg time), these valves if you take the guts out will replace the ones we have.  leave the body in the manifold and just replace the guts.

One little trivial detail. The original washers and the packing gland nut are flat. The washers in the valve Tom listed are domed. The nut on the new valve is domed of course. So, don't try to reuse the old nut is all I'm saying.

I found a repair kit today that works for the manifold valves. I found this at Home Depot and the cost was less than 3 bucks.

I didn't see this Thread so I was searching Ace, Home Depot, etc. without any luck. All I wanted was the rubber washer under the cap to stop the dripping.I found a Company that will make them for about 40 cents each plus tax. Does this interest anyone?
