Lubricating Dump Valves April 21, 2019, 03:23:41 pm Perhaps it’s common knowledge but came across this video and thought it was a good idea for keeping dump valves in good working order:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TGv9THpOdmw&time_continue=134 1 Likes
Re: Lubricating Dump Valves Reply #1 – April 24, 2019, 11:18:27 am Greg,Dump valves are so inexpensive and easy to replace that I replace mine whenever they show the tiniest sign of getting sticky and sticky when operating. A new dump valve feels so nice when doing the dumping duty and the idea of one malfunctioning on a trip is a good reason to replace them early and often.

The old ones are carried for spares and have been borrowed by friends who have damage a valve, while travelingDrilling the valve's the body and injecting grease is an old cure that works great to keep the shaft from seizing but does nothing to clean the crud caught in the seals, that cause leaks.Larry 1 Likes
