Interesting.

[@shadowbanned69]

Thats from a shitty tech wrenching down way to hard on the cap. Seen it a bunch of times. All ya gotta do is put some nylog on it and call it a day. No serious tightening needed

[@JeffsHVACAdventures]

Right you are mate!

[@TooCloseSeries]

King valve just replaced on mine. A $35 part was over $2,000 with everything they had to "do" to "repair" it. 🤨 Labor?

[@JeffsHVACAdventures]

Yea that’s a bummer. Replacing a king valve would need at least 3 hours plus evacuation and recharge. Would need a now filter drier too. It sucks but doesn’t seem too far out of line.
