Default Re: Gas drip

The first thing I visualized from this was a leak to the outside of the valve so it took a while to get that is was leaking past the valve down into the line was the issue here.

The EZ-Turn prevents galling from metal on metal parts like the old valve designs and it can fill in imperfections in the seating surfaces. The other problem is corrosion from inside the tank. Even with a pencil filter in there, some of the fine stuff will get by. Debris like this can scratch the valve faces and start a leak over time.
