sporlan valve - erniecarpet@... - 08-16-2006 20:51 Dan, back off those bolts on the valve. Perhaps there is some crud on the diaphram.You'll get some water in that compartment- so don't back off the bolts too far. Most of the time the crud will leak out. It did on mine. There is a rebuild kit for it and maybe Stephen Birtles has the kits.

My question is where can I get a new one as I called Blue Bird parts and the tech Dept. and neither has called me back.... I believe it;s the sporlan valve as it has been giving me problems and now it won't move at all... I think its stuck half open and half closed cause on city water it continues to fill the tank with vary little pressure in the coach ... when I try the coach pump ( it is working ) there is no pressure cause with the valve half open it just bypasses the valve.... I have flicked the valve switch on and off and it will not work.......So where can I get one ??? little help here please DAN 92 WLWB 40ft.

You can get a kit from Sporlan consisting of the diaphram springs etc to rebuild it. I got mine locally from the Jordan Co.

The valve is also used in many commercial plumbing applications in case that helps. If your tank water level is below the valve (empty?), you can take the valve apart to see if there is simply a piece of debris keeping it open (fairly common). The valve is O-ring sealed, will likely seal again until a rebuild kit arrives. Also try switching the fill valve on and off a few times with water flowing, it might clear the debris. - Jeff Miller in Holland, MI always carrying a Sprorlan rebuild kit --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Dan Saari" wrote: > > > On my return from Colorado this week I had a problem with my water > system... lifted the bed to get at the sporlan valve to tap it and was > not able to get it to work correctly....

You could take it apart and clean it up to see if it stops sticky. Someone on this forum sells a rebuild kit for them--I think if you search on sporlan valve, they're name should come up. Sorry to hear about your engine problem.

The works get scummed up and they need a cleaning. For a quick fix I hook up to high pressure city, run the outside hand wash sink and try and close the e-fill switch off. ( others will warn you that this may cause pipe dammage and my sporlan is a little clogged up) . To check if the e switch and selonoid are working, turn it on, go under the bed, unscrew the e selonoid and pick it up and down, you should feel the magnetic pull. If all that is working simply remove the other four (4?) screws open the valve and clean the guts with bathroom cleaner. If you replace the valve replumb it to hold a ball man valve also. ( the man valve is good to use on the road if the sporlan or when the sporlan gets scummed once again) Gregory O'Connor 94ptRomolandCa . --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Dan Saari" > > > On my return from Colorado this week I had a problem with my water > system... lifted the bed to get at the sporlan valve to tap it and was > not able to get it to work correctly....
