Often times it’s the seals that fail. You can get new seals, you just need to know which ones, there are 3 and yes they are different.
1) Valterra BladeX- fits all Valterra valves
2) Valterra- fits Valterra valve
3) Bristol- fits Bristol valve
All 3 may look the same, but I know from years of working on them that the flanges are slightly different. Not fun to just put a set of seals in, fail the test and have to do it again.
