Re: Verticle Valve alignment @ home

Someone else should help me with this. I am not a repair guy.

This is what I remember:

Use something to measure from the top of the port to the top of the valve casing. (top of the threads)
We used a thin rod that was bent at the end 90 degrees. It stuck out about 1/4"
Now that measurement should be the same as the top of the port on the valve to the top of the felt.
I'm pretty sure that's how we did it. It took about three minutes.
