Spunding valve
« on: July 10, 2013, 09:36:17 PM »
Hmm - a while back I lent out my spunding valve, but as luck would have it I don't remember to who - anyone else remember?   :-[

I'm sure it will turn up...I'd give you the old one I got from JohnQ but it's completely saturated with stickiness.  I can bury the needle on the pressure gauge with the valve full open and nothing...maybe a good long soak will bring it around.

I've found that if you mess up and allow beer through, then hooking it up to a keg of hot water and pressuring water through does the trick.  The valves are SS inside and it doesn't seem to harm them.

problem at the moment is 50+ psi won't release the valve so I can't get flow through it...might just take off the gauge and boil the damn thing.
No biggie, I have a couple of other spunding valves that work just fine.
