| Subject: | Emergency Air Leak update |
First, ultrasonic leak detector....priceless, found the leak in under 5 min.
The leak is where the t-piece fitting joins the bottom of the emergency valve in
front cockpit. (see pic). I tried tightening the nut but found it would leak
if I tried tightening it too much. I thought either the t-fitting might be cracked
or the housing of the valve cracked. So, I took the
t-piece out and found the rubber washer cracked and dry. So, I'm pretty sure that
is the source. Housing looks fine, t-fitting not cracked either.
Where do I get new washer? For that matter, probably will get two. Also, I trashed
some of the screws that hold the top cover plate down to the inside of the
plane, so need more of those as well. Thanks, Bill

Bill,
Change it out for a CJ6 main air valve with SS needle, they don't have any
rubber gaskets to go bad and I think (from your photo) it will be a pretty
much plug and play operation. I'd like to know myself so I'm willing to
send you one to see if it will fit. If it fits, pay me, if not send it
back.
Doug

Doug, not sure I understand. Wouldn't the t-piece still need to be attached the
valve in the same manner?

Bill,
The T fitting is flare, flare, pipe thread. The pipe thread leg threads
into the bottom of the valve, no rubber parts needed to seal. I'll try to
send you a picture, save a thousand words...........
Best,
Doug

Try Jill at M14P. She may have the rubber washer in stock. As for the
screws, they are standard 4 mm screws. I'd suggest replacing them with
4 mm button head Philips screws. Can be either SS or zinc plated.

There is only one company that I know of that may be able to repair it.
I have had others repaired there. The company is Termikas in
Lithuania. There are definitely no new ones available.

Thanks Dennis. Do you think a properly fitting o-ring will work?
Doug, from the picture, I don't think the CJ valve will work for me. The top elbow
fitting looks like it points directly down over the bottom fitting. My top
elbow fitting is directed backwards away from bottom fitting. Don't think there
is enough play in the tubing to attach it.

I would certainly try a metric o-ring. Size it to the original if possible.
