I bought two used Faber 133s and they needed a Hydro anyways. Prior to having that done, I wanted to see how easy it is to remove the corrosion on these valves. The guy left them in a dock box outside. I do not have an ultrasonic cleaner and have never taken apart a valve before. Thinking it might be worth the $30-35 to have the shop do it for me, but wouldn’t mind saving the extra money, I’m not gates after all lol. Also, the hydro stamp has rust and I’d like to clean it as best as possible prior to sealing it, any recommendations on that is greatly appreciated. Pics below.
Ps- anyone have any worry with hooking up a reg and breathing through a valve with corrosion on it, it goes way to the back of the valve, inside. Just curious has a full fill and would like to utilize it, but obviously not risking my health for a $14 fill
