Energy Hyd. Valve Question

[mntnvew]

Figures that is exactly what is happening to me.

I am just outside Ennis MT, which is down by the West gate to YNP.

Is this the way you put it back together?

yes it is... and it doesnt appear to be correct. I am beyond frustrated with this to be frank!

The big ball pushes against the round cap and that doesnt appear to be correct, however I am clueless as to another way to put it together.

Did you get any insight/lucky?

Me too, I'm just waiting for my new Prince valve to get here. I know in the future I would have serious doubts about buying a piece of equipment that had an Energy valve on it.

Welp, I called Speeco and they are sending a new valve, they dont currently offer anything but Energy valves but boy oh boy did I politely convey that those energy valves are crap. They didnt realize there were so many compliants about them and said they would consider changing to another manufacturer for their valves. At least they were responsive to my comments (and yours).

Speeco themselves are top notch from my dealings with them, so folks realize this is a Energy Manfacturing issue and not a Speeco issue.

Thanks for everyones assistance and thoughts on the matter.

PS - Even Speeco doesn't have a schematic that defines how the spring detention goes back together from Energy Mfg. so that aint good!

No more Energy Valves for me!

 

[klm]

Good for you and good for Speeco for stepping up to the plate and replacing the valve, even if it is another Energy valve. I would still like to find the information to repair the valve just for my own satisfaction.

I did not, but I did go to there website, no information at all on repairing their products.

Energy does not post any parts drawings on its website. Utilize the contact link to contact them. Drawings are available once I can determine the valve iteration you have.
mrpanhead told me of this site and the bashing Energy is recieving. He was very grateful when I helped him solve his problem.

You know what they say, "you only get one chance to make a first impression". My first impression of Energy valves are they are junk. I have replaced it with a Prince valve that came with a detailed drawing and instruction sheet. Their Internet web site has parts manual, instruction sheet, and detailed drawings for most of their valves. This is the way you do business today. And by the way the Prince vale works perfectly.
