Oh man, I'm sorry to hear it! How did it fail? Any chance you have a photo that shows how it's mounted?
 
Do you think an adjustable flat valve woukd help?

Twpilot is likely right. The angle the valve is at is likely not allowing it to seal properly. An adjustable valve will help, I'm sending you a PM
