Adjusting valves on a manifold

[Jasonmh]

Hi All,

I have 2 manifolds, and the valves are alittle stiffer (harder to turn) than I would like.
Is there a way to adjust this?

Thanks

Try backing off on the retaining screw a little. You'll need a slotted screw driver. You can make one with a dremmel or a hacksaw and file.

If that doen't work you might have to rebuild the valve... not hard to do at all but you will need to get the parts.

Oops! Sorry... I reread and now see that it is all of the valves on two manifolds. Are they new? Might just take some time to loosen up. Are they old? Might have to rebuild.

They are new, only used about 30 times...
I might try backing that retaining screw just a little.
Thanks
