I thought my Wema tank sensor was failing but it turns out the Sea Tech shut off valves are leaking near the Jabsco pump under the galley sink. Is there an O ring or something that can be changed out or must I replace the valve or cut back the line? I tried to removing and re-seating the lines but it did not seem to help, steady drip. Any one have a solution? Thanks

It’s on a 41. It’s under the sink on the tank side of the inline shut off valves.

From the connection. Reseated the hoses and I’m waiting but not trusting the results.

I did a bit of research on Sea Tech, since i am always interested on improving my ABS stuff.

What I know about those type of connecters and "slick line" tubing, that are not "Bump" resistance or Line Strain from heat or cold changes.

I guess not much has changed under the Galley Sink for your install.o_O

Nothing seems magical about the O-Ring seal. The tubing has to be fully up against the O-ring and in no Stain that would make it "cock eyed".

If I was to install this, I would use one of the Sea Tech mounting clips, since it is in the nature of a valve to be twisted open/close.

All of my ABS valves are mounted to a small plywood sheet. Not the valve, but the line on each side of the valve.
The plywood mount can be light weight and not even mounted to a bulkhead. The plywood takes the strain off a valve twist.
