Y-valve Whale or Jabsco......
A Year ago, based on Peggie's recommendation, I got the Whale valve. To me, it
looks well made. It's too soon to tell whether it functions well or holds up. The Guzzler (Bosworth) valve is junk. Ytter wrote: Which one is better the product that would last longer and do the proper job? My ITT Jabsco last only five years and plastic around the spring broke. Thank You Ytter |

Looking at the acid resistance of metals table he
http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/45_491.html I see that bronze holds up well to Citric acid, and formic acid, but vinegar not so well. That's as far as wanted to take it for now. Brian W On Wed, 14 Apr 2004 18:13:01 -0500, "Keith" wrote: How does bronze hold up to the corrosiveness of urine? |

I've never heard of any problems with it, something I can't about stainless or aluminum. -- Peggie ---------- Peggie Hall Specializing in marine sanitation since 1987 Author "Get Rid of Boat Odors - A Guide To Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor" http://www.seaworthy.com/html/get_ri...oat_odors.html http://shop.sailboatowners.com/detai...=400&group=327 |
