1 Year of Service
I'm given to understand that heating the threaded region on the valve spigot thingummy (sorry to get all technical on ya), but not on the pipe, can improve the chances ot its clean removal. But I've not done that myself... I've only removed removable valves via the screw on the bottom holding them on... g'luck.I "think" it is just the gasket -- but the valve was put in service in 1974 and I envision either breaking the valve or the pipe whilst trying to take it apart. I will , of course turn off the well before I start -- but (there is always a "butt") if I break the pipe I don't want to be without water until I get a plumber in. Funny thing is -- in my old oil field days replacing valves -- even 4 / 6 inch ones - was only a half hour job at the most. now I am a bit more "'seasoned" and time weighs heavily on both my house's infrastructure -- and mine.
