fittings leak

Dirtnut · Mar 13, 2005

yes it is a prince. you can get it with this type of pull handle or with a long stem handle that makes it 90 degrees to the valve. my dealer is trying to get them in a smaller size so they dont take up so much room.

Anyone find a good source for those washers? I found some at NAPA but they are 9/16 ID. I have not taken the valve body apart yet to get and exact measurement of the male fitting. Can't find any 11/16. Otherwise if you have some Jon, I'll have to buy them from you for the valve kit I got from you last year. There is a one more store here locally that I am going to check when I find time.

thx
Jim

I found some copper washers at a Caterpillar shop. Their part number is 2A-1162. ID is .639" and OD is 1". They were tight on the fitting and almost too wide for the recess in the valve body. But they seem to work so far.
thx
