    hello my names is luis i was wondering if anyone could answer my question.i have a bridgepoint lancer truckmount it has been working fine until recently it started leaking water from the check valve i noticed that it was leaking from both of the oulets of the check valve one is for the stainer and the other is for the valve itself ,so i removed both the valve and the strainer ,i replaced the o rings on the strainer and the valve and screwed them back in place the strainer stoped leaking around the o ring but the valve when i screwed it back in place it would still be leaking, so after trying different orings i guess the threads on the orifice where the valve screws into got striped and it wont tightened any more i was wondering if that orifice on the check valve can be rethreaded or do i have to change the whole valve body please help by the way i think the valve body is brass thanks in dvance :AddEmoticons04259:

    I would guess the easy thing would be to replace it. You probably can pick one up at your supplier.
