    New trico vacuum check valves

    I just got my second Trico vacuum check valve from paragon. The first one I ordered from them leaked. This second one leaks even more. The leaks are coming from around the edge of the valvle where the two metal parts come together. the leaks aren't massive, but it is enough to loose the vacuum within 15-20 mins after the the vacuum has been turned off. Is this normal? I thought about lining the edge of the valve with superglue or something like that.

    I dought that super glue would work all that well..dare I say if you want to repair the new one some two part epoxy applied with a tooth pick..there are some out there that are grey in color that may be disguised as not being there at a casual glance..some sand paper to make the crimp lines..May try another one hopefully it gets tested before it leaves Paragon ..I had one of these in my hand at Carlisle and didn't get it because of the price..40$..really dumb move..I should have! I will look for the guys card when I get home..maybe I still have it.

      I have repaired several, original valves that leaked around the seam, with JB Weld. The toothpick idea for application should work very well. I used dental tools to do it.
