That device also becomes clogged over time and, although the plumbing looks correct, the valve won't operate when (if) the pressure reaches the setpoint..........15 psi.
Hey BC --- I'm sorry, but I'm way confused...! If you look at the picture I posted in the thread...why is this device so differant from the one on my 83? The underside of this has, what appears to be an electrical connection.
