I used about 12 to 14 wraps i believe.
I should have went with 3/4” pvc. But I had 1” here already. My tank runs silent, but lately it’s been touchy.
Thanks!

Everyone says this gate valve is far superior to the RedSea valve. After 2 years I’m going to try it out. How much Teflon tape do I use?
What makes it superior to red seas? Just curious as I’ve never had an issue with my RSR valve...
I was adjusting my valve almost constantly. It would be perfect water level and dead silent for a week then raise into the emergency drain and get loud. Id adjust again itd be perfect for a week then do it again. Id adjust it then the a day or two later Id lose the siphon completely. Did this for a year before adding the spears gate valve. I might have touched it twice since the change a year ago.What makes it superior to red seas? Just curious as I’ve never had an issue with my RSR valve...

They seem to be hit or miss. Some say no issue at all while others fight and fight. At one point I remember putting it into a name one thing i hate about reefing threadWow. I’ve had a totally different experience. I think last time I needed to adjust mine was a yr or more ago.

Nah, if it wasnt an issue then why bother. The only reason i fought it for a year was i couldnt catch the assembly in stock at red sea.From what I’ve read I’m sure I’ll be thinking “why didn’t I do this before”... haha

Water change done! Take a look at the inside of the RedSea valve, new gate valve is installed!
Is the new valve silent
