Sticky Release Valve

This is a test reply to see where it lands. No pun intended.


Not sure if age would be the problem, Marty. How old ARE you?

Colleen,


How is the valve working out for you?

I was considering upgrading to this valve... now that you've had it for a while, what are your recent thoughts about it?

I have been using this valve for many years, never had any issues with it

Colleen,


I know you have the same valve... is it working well for you


Regards,

Hey MArty! Great post!
Has anyone had problems with a Cumberland Model A-45 release valve?
I was flying on Sunday in about 58 degress F, humidity of 67% about 3000 ft.

As tank pressure increased, the release value should have tripped to keep it under control. It didn't. Fortunately, I noticed the problem quickly and was able to release pressure manually. But I'm concerned about future occurrences.

The unit is about 15 years old but has been well maintained. Could age be the problem?
