One of the screws is weak and can't be tightened without further damaging the PVC (I assume). What can I use to help and be able to tighten the screw a little more? I need to remove the screws in the future, so I think JB-Weld or something permanent won't work well. Sample (not my exact one) valve showing screws. See #1 pic: http://www.poolcenter.com/jandy_check_valve.jpg Wedge of toothpick? :-/ Fixed! Three O-rings, lube and all screws snuged up. The one weak seated screw is not leaking. That screw is for mounting the low voltage actuator - one of four screws. The SS screw does go into the valve housing. Ready for summer. Nice cool dip in the fresh pool. Thanks for comments.. Mines already at 86 degrees F even w/o the heater. |
