Easy to Install
September 16, 2021|Hasty i s, Virginia, US
Inlet valve very easy to install with compression fittings. While looking for installation info, I found the part for half as much, at another reseller. Extra surprised to see that Sears Parts Direct seemed to have had the part drop shipped from that other reseller. I am still glad to have fixed the valve leak, even at the Sears markup.
