I received my 3/4 replacement valve. When I took out the OME valve and replaced it with the blue Herron valve and turned on the water it leaked like crazy. Am I missing something. Everyone says just screw it in and turn on the water. It looks like when...

When I inserted replacement valve into the backflow preventer I spread a small amount of lubrication on the threads and was very careful to ensure proper alignment (plastic to brass doesn't always cooperate). When turning on the water, I found that slow-flowing water leaked profusely out of the top, however, once the incoming water valve was fully open the two-part replacement valve seated, sealed, and the water leak stopped.

what part of the unit is the water coming from. turn off the water tank, check all connections. I've had two leaks from defective/broken parts. The company replaced these parts free of charge. If parts are broken and you purchased through Amazon, go to Amazon web site. prior orders, contact supplier. explain problem. When I did this the company emailed me within 24 hours. hope this helps/ good luck/Craig

I have not had the a problem with the valve. The handle is a little loose. Probably use it to tighten the top. Otherwise it works great!!

I believe that is the same as I had, also. I checked everywhere for the valve and no one had it. I found out it is no longer made. They worked beautifully! You just would have to take the chance that yours will too! I found they super easy to replace! My old valve were so bad that I couldn't even use the spigot! Good luck!

mine popped apart just above the main valve shortly after i installed it. it was relatively simple to fix, there's a little screw on the side (allen wrenchy thing i think), so i just popped it back in and tightened down the screw better. it hasn't happened since.

To whom it may concern,I just purchased The " Claber 8410 Aquadue Duplo Dual-Outlet Digital Water Timer" and alredy have problems with the device at the first use. Actually, the device was fonctioning for a little while until I noticed a problem with the timer and also the valve was not closing and of course the water did not stop running.Shortly afterI programmed and installed the device, it went off (nothing on the dial) and one of the valves remained open. The battery is new and in good condition, and I also followed your advice (disconnect the battery and press all three key programming for 2 minutes) but there is still nothing on the screen.Please, let me know, what should I do ?Best regards,Francois Dubois.

Make sure your existing gasket that goes under this valve is intact. I had to buy a new gasket . Then liberally lube with silicone grease and screw the cover down.

Since mine is installed, the main valve has been remained open. If your spray head is leaking, my guess is that you have less than perfect parts and/or the installation was not done properly.

I did not install the valve. The trim was perfect for replacing what was existing in a rental. I would suggest turning the main off. Aloha, Sean

I just ordered the service valve and installed it just incase we have a hard freeze, easy to install, might be cheaper if you just ordered the parts, that would be your call Big Jim

Not sure what tour question is, but am wondering if you turned off the water supply before installing. I've forgotten this step and had it leak. Once I redid the installation process, it worked quote fine. If that's not the problem, maybe it is a defective filter? Wishing you luck.

Sorry. I have not had to replace the valve yet. I ordered it as a "just in case".

I am not the retailer, only a customer. I bought only the valve system. Warning! It does leak. Use it ONLY outside.

Yes, there is a problem. The internal valve has a tendency to stick within the first two weeks, impeding water flow. The only way to prevent this was to remove the valve completely, eliminating the handy feature of having a quick connect that doesn't require turning the water off to move the hose. The other issue is as others mentioned. The ones I bought were brass, but about one in 5 chronically leaked. If I had it to do over, I would not have purchased.

I had the same issue. After days of research you have to buy a whole new burner. That part is easy to break and they dont make spares sold separately nor do any hardware store sell valves that match. Its custom made.

That's a good question. I must have missed that in my reading of the instructions. I have changed 4 since I've had my fridge and I've never shut off the valve. I simply untwist the old one, pull it out, line up the marks of the new one to the housing, and turn whichever way the arrow says to until it locks in. Then I "run" the water until it flows like its supposed to. The only other guidance I have is to check your fridge manual for the true directions. Best of luck!!!

Mine leaks too at the shut-off valve. I had the washers in place and I believe they were rightly used. It seems that there is another washer below the hex nut (which is not visible) and in my case perhaps that washer has issues. I can see water coming out from below the hex nut.I tried several times but could not stop the leakage. I am returning this piece and ordering another one. Let's see how is the other one.
