Just fitted a brand new heater valve to my 1098 and, surprise surprise, it leaks, this one through the spindle hole. I know I can get an adapter to do away with it but has anyone taken the guts out of one then sealed it back up? I just need the 90' bend for my needs, not the valve part. Many thanks, Phil.

DSN Retrosport do the 90° alloy take off that goes straight into the hose. They do a 1/2inch and 5/8 inch variant

The 'Genuine' Minispares valve is supposed to be of a higher quality to the correct spec.
HEATER VALVE GENUINE MINISPARES ORIGINAL SHAPE - ADU9102MS
"Genuine Mini Spares heater valve. The original RANCO tooling has been scrappped so beware of some imports available where the inners quickly explode loosing the metal cap and all your water when operated.This has M4 metric thread bolt included for the cable screw instead of the 11/31"unc thread original For the straight stem version of this valve see 13H5506. For the correct best specification part available you will see MSC stamped on the side of the casting."
