Hey all, my dad and I just finished fitting and assembling a barrel sealing piston valve in a tee (We have not glued it yet). The piston is vary stiff and at low pressure will not seal. Is this normal or do we need to slick thing up a little?
thanks

White grease? Do you mean lard?

White grease or Vasoliene will solve your problem.

and yeah lard will help with it and if it still leaks you might need to use another rubber thing for it to seal."No living person is a virgin because life screws us all." - Extrusion
