I have paid close attention to all comments, both positive and negative, and disappointed in mixed views of why and why not I have made the spring out of Zinc/galvanised Metal.
The truth is these wont last as long as stainless, but should last about two years.
The reason for change from stainless, is stainless 316 Marine grade is around half as hard as Zinc/Galvanised.
Any stiff operating univalves are actually due to grease running out so should be lubricated only.
This being the case when you pull the hose to operate the univalve, the stainless hardly has the strength to pull the
hose back up the pole, especially at height, (30ft) let alone when the grease starts to run dry!
I have had complaints the the valve was not switching off so found the next closest metal, Called J500.
I want you guys to get good use out the Uni-valve, but at the same time, even if the spring lasted the rubber would eventually wear anyway.
They cant last years and years anyway as its not a big enough market for a one hit wonder.
I have uploaded a service kit for univalve on our site.
New stem, spring, O-ring and new cap.
No need to cut hose off old Uni-valve, as all parts supplied
Sorry for any confusion, or seeming lack of response but customer feedback, it is always best to wait patiently and see common issues complaints ect.
