[Public-List] Seacocks and gate valves.

[Mike Lehman]

John,

 

I have been through this so many times - I don't mess with this anymore - I just cut the flange off the thru-hill fitting from the outside and bang it through the hull with a hammer and just replace the whole damn thing (including the backing blocks) - in the end it is a lot faster and you have an all new fitting.
