Thank you very much for going into detail. This happened here at the park today and now I know I can fix it. Best of luck to you on the road.
I just saw a trick putting teflon tape onto a male end in a tight spot. They rapped the tape around a straw & used the straw to rapped it around the male end
Hi John. That is an excellent idea. I'll haver to try that next time. Thanks for sharing. Safe Travels
Looks like the red ride is your company in the background😊👍
That's Big Red LOL. Yes, we were mooch docking with them and had a great time short of the unbearable heat :) Safe Travels
Good job.I would have put the tefion tape on the male end of the adapter before putting it in.
That's exactly what I was gonna say.
Yes, that would have been a great idea. Sometimes you cant see the trees for the forest LOL Thanks for that tip. Safe Travels :)
Thanks for looking at the refrigerator. I replaced the propane regulator and fridg. works great. Di over cooked food with more heat from propane. I do not have e-mail for you, so I posted here. THANK YOU
Hi Glyn. Thanks for letting me know you were able to get it fixed. So glad to hear it was just the regulator. Safe Travels
If you don't want to damage the threads on a pipe use a rag to cover them and then put the device you're tighten them with on it
Hi Byron. Excellent point Sir. Thanks for checking out the video and for following along. Safe Travels
Great job Aaron. That didn’t look too hard to do. Glad it works with no leaks. Glad you knew what to do. You are quite the handy man. Glad you got business going. Tina loved having the water back on again with no leaks. You too right Aaron. Great job! Tell Tina hello. And Maggie. Hope you have a great weekend. See you soon! Safe travels.
Hi Sherri. Yes, its always good to have water with no leaks :) Tina said hi and Maggie too. Safe Travels
Don’t have that system, but good info. 😎🇺🇸
Hi Gary. Glad to hear you don't have to worry about this in your rig. :) Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels
Thanks Aaron.
And did it left handed no less! Nice job sir!
Hey guys. Yeah, and I am NOT left handed LOL. Safe Travels
The kantleak valve needs to have the pressure released before turning selector. That's probably why the O ring on the cartridge got destroyed and lead to your storage tank filling.
No that isn't it. They wear out over time as does anything with o-rings. It's simply a bad design. Once they wear out and begin to leak it doesn't matter then whether you turn them with pressure or not because its already worn out. Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels
@@JonesN2Travel Well then I guess you had better tell Andersen Valve that then because releasing the water pressure before turning the selection handle is exactly what they instruct to do.
Yes, you are 100% correct but they will still wear out over time even if you turn them with no pressure. ABCO already knows about it and that is why they discontinued the cartridge and came out with an entirely new panel that is all brass. I mentioned in the video that I will be replacing my panel with a new one soon but this hack is to get us by until we can get a new panel. Hope that helps. Safe Travels
Great fix. Sure don't give you much room to work. Thanks Don
Hi Don. It is pretty tight in there but better than some RVs I've worked on. Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels
Nice hack job...😂😂. Thanks bud. Safe travels.
Hey guys. The hacking is the easy part LOL Stay safe out there. See you guys again soon. Safe Travels
Good job Aaron, excellent hack
Thanks Jim. Safe Travels
Great fix, and you didn't even drop and have to hunt for the washer or nut, LOL.
Hi Larry. If it makes you feel better I dropped it 3 times off camera LOL Safe Travels
Good job on explaining the bypass and showing how to do it.
Thank you. :) Safe Travels
Good job. You might want to consider liquid teflon tape (Pipe dope) for tight spaces. And, you could use both for double protection in tight spaces.
Great idea. Thanks for that tip. Thanks for checking out the video and following along. Safe Travels
nice job. I had Slade install the brass Kanleak last year. It doesn't leak, but it is a bugger bear to turn the handle.
Hi Joe. I'm sure I'll replace mine at some point too. Hopefully yours breaks in a bit and gets easier to operate. Safe Travels
Good job but why didn't you use a Pex valve and then you wouldn't need the adapters
Hi Lee. Thanks for checking out the video. I 100% agree with you. Unfortunately the big box store I had available didn't have any in stock. It would have been a bit quicker with a one part solution. :) Safe Travels
That was good 👍...thank you...we use our internal tank all the time...however..if I had a water pressure valve to regulate the incoming pressure like you have I would probably use the city... I'm going to check on that... Thank you ... Stay safe ..J&A
Hey Jeanne & Alex. The pressure regulator is a must :) Here is a link to the one we use amzn.to/2VvGRfR Thanks for checking out the video. :) Safe Travels
@@JonesN2Travel thanks
Ball valves are very tight so they have a lot of friction when operated. I predict that eventually the plastic nipple on the manifold will crack and/or break off from constant flexing and people will forget to do it anyway. There was plenty of line so you could have put another short line on the manifold and brought the valve out to the opening where it would be much easier access and wouldn't be flexing the manifold.
They are water lines, not hoses.
Thanks for the tips. This really is a temporary hack fro us as eventually I will replace the manifold. Great tips though, I appreciate it. Safe Travels
Good video 👍looks like it was real hard to get your hands in that small space 😂
Hi Stephen. Thanks for checking out the video. Yes it is a little challenging. DRV definitely has more room to work than some others. :) Safe Travels
Thanks for sharing! Great job 👏 Safe travels! Zoe and Ramón
Thank you guys. Safe Travels :)
Good video, thanks.
Thank you. Glad you liked it! Safe Travels
Good hack but you put the ball valve on backwards. Sealed side of ball is the other end
Hi Bill. Thanks for checking out the video and for following along. Safe Travels
Just a thought, wouldn't have been easier to cut the pex install the shutoff in line? Yes you would need a Pex tool but if you have an RV you should be carrying pex tool, pipe and fittings for repairs.
Hi Scott. Yes, you are correct and I do carry those tools. However, I wanted to show how to complete this hack without any special tools. I know I didn't mention that in the video. Also, I am planning on replacing my panel so I probably wont leave the valve in there once I do that. Kind of a temporary solution, for me anyway. Thanks for checking out the video and for following along. Safe Travels
Faster and easier would have been a sharkbite ball valve, a cut in the 1/2 pex & done. I see that where your PVC Male adapter is to be a leak since you removed the fitting w the oring, also teflon tape likes to be flat when installed otherwise drip, drip, drip.
Just my 2 cents.
Otherwise good video.
Thanks Alex. I realize there are faster and easier ways and the SharkBite would have been a good one. I had trouble finding some parts at the big box store so this was what I came up with. No leaks, thankfully :) Thanks for checking out the video and for following along. Safe Travels
@@JonesN2Travel roger that, big boxes are hit and miss for the right parts.
Honestly, we have been having much better luck at local True Value or Ace while on the road.
Stay safe, see ya on the road sometime!
Why did you put the tape on before installing
Great idea. I was so involved with the install and filming I just didn't think about it I guess. Safe Travels
THANK YOU..
