Jumping in here on this. About a year ago I bought a Bristol gate valve for the large shower gray tank. Was dealing with the limited space to remove and replace. Found that there is a bracket that can be loosened and spun so the tank can be slid to gain a larger space to reinstall the new valve and sealing rings a lot more easily. However, with the fitting in the neck of the tank it became quite unsealed. After talking to a mobile repair tech I have used in Kerrville, TX I bought Flex Seal in the can and a roll of Flex Seal tape. This combination sealed and has worked for at least a year.
Now comes the request for wisdom. All three of the gate valves work harder than Hades. Removing the coroplast I found a small phillips screw that joined the cable and valve on the shower tank. Reinstalling this the valve does move, but hard. I recall Rob installing grease fittings. I am hoping that someone can relate a positive experience with Thetford's liquid, or vegetable oil, or ANY solution. Thanks all!
