Hi peeps,

I have (had) a leaking heater water valve that I've disassembled to replace the rubber gaskets that where really bad. The 2 plastic pieces where still together all the time, as I had no idea how to separate these. While cleaning the inner sides they separated and I've seen, that the inner valve, that goes up and down by operating the temp cable has an inner thread which is screwed onto the thread that the bolt has, which is going up and down by operating.

Attached is a picture of the water valve itself.

The inner plastic valve with the inner thread has 2 different sides. And there is a small metal tube that goes from the inner valve to the outlet, seems to be a bypass or overpressure fuse. Now I have 2, better 4 options to insert the inner valve in the direction to that tube.

The inner valve has a notch, which I believe should go in the direction to the bypass tube.

Can somebody confirm this, or know how to insert it the right way? I don't like to disassemble everything after it's finnished.

Have more pics of the whole rebuild, if somebody needs more information.

THX & CU
