VALVE HELP
got an older talon tank, want to remove the valve for polishing. Problem is the valve is excessivlely tight. Anyone know an “easy” way to get the valve loose from the tank? Don’t want to resort to pipe wrench and valve damage.
Thanks

If that doesn’t work, boil your tank in a kettle of water for 15min. or so. I use a steel rod that fits snug in the hole, after heating the valve/tank up, the tank goes in a vice and rod in the valve collar. I try by hand to turn it off, if that doesn’t work a couple of whacks with a hammer will loosen the connection.
