Hi all,

Has anyone on this list fitted the stock fuel valve?  Any tips for making the installation look more polished or operate as well as possible?  I can find very little online about it.
FYI---not really interested in going the Andair valve option.
Thanks!

I installed the stock valve as per the plans - not a single change. It
does the job, never saw a need to modify it.

It's a bit of a nuisance to have to remove the handle every time you
want the tunnel cover removed, but what can ya do, it's only once a year.

Great question.  I installed the Andair Valve in another plane, and, it works sweetly.  I was hoping to go "stock" on the -10 project.  Hoping more than just Mr. Walker speaketh up.

Just about every RV-10 that I’m aware of, including mine has gone with an Andair valve. Mine has been flying for over six years, so I haven’t really bothered to keep up with all the factory parts quality control issues. Hopefully, that vendor has fixed their issues over the years. I don’t have any data, pro or con.

I have the stock valve in my RV-6, and it is doing fine after 18 maintenance
free years.

I installed the stock valve in the RV-10 I'm finishing and have no qualms
about it. The installation is very simple - just follow the plans.

Stock valve in mine. Kit purchase circa 2008, just in time to get the slightly modified valve with the new handle (aluminum pointer, lift-to-turn). The older brass handle was just plain ugly IMHO. No problems to date.

I installed the stock valve 11 years ago and have had no problems. If you push down on the valve during loading it can make it move hard. Just pull up on the handle and release and your good to go.

8 years, 1150 hrs, no issues. Stock valve, unpainted, per plans. I lightly coat the nylon w/ fuel lube every few years if it gets hard to turn.

Same experience with my RV-6A for 1100 hrs.

I used the stock fuel selector valve.  First flight in 2010, 1000+ hours no issues.

My kit came with the Andair.  Much nicer than the stock valve in my 6A.  I have a stock -10 valve for sale Smile

I’ve used the stock valve in my 6, it got stiff on me once but disassembled and lubed, no problem since. Using the stock valve on my 10 and no problems, using the red pointer knob.
