Leaky Snifter Valve

[Jed1154]

Mine was leaking when the pump was running. I pulled the stem and it looks like the spring is weak or broken. Either way, I had another one laying around that is probably from a inner tube. Its awful stiff though. Are these stems all the same or do I need to get one for wells?

Nope, they are a special valve with a weak spring. You'd be best to replace the whole snifter valve.

can they be had from the local box store?

 

[Jed1154]

OK, I give up.

Anyone know where I can get one online or locally in Katy, TX? I have no idea what size I need.

Jed I would try your old school hardware store, If You have one.

Should not be that hard to find. or Clean the old one and use it.

Have a great day.
