Leaking Boston Valve
Posted: Sat Jan 20, 2018 3:55 am
I have a leaky bladder. I am pretty sure it is leaking from the threads of the Boston valve (the large inflate/deflate style). I cleaned the threads and all the seals, but doesn't fix it. I took out the bladder to confirm it isn't leaking from the connection to the bladder.
Seems pretty weird ... easy to see why the valve connection to bladder fails, with glue delaminating. Have fixed a bunch of these lately. Can't see how the thread mechanism is failing, maybe warped or threads broken or something.
Anyone have any tips on a fix for this, other than replacing the valve or the bladder?
