I just replaced another of the CWR4525 valves today. These are the ones where the O-rings rub against the brass housing. Zoom in you you can see the marring of the brass throat down in there. Rebuilding this brass part won't do anything about leaking of the grease fittings. When we use the...

I think the problem with the grease fitting version of these regulators is the silver bullet has the O-rings and they go up and down/vibrate against the brass housing causing the brass housing to mar/scratch/gouge. After that it's over. The other version of the regulator (without grease...

I had a YBRV5325 on the shelf and took it apart to see what's inside- the kind that MEP says lasts for years. The main difference, and I think it's huge, is that the o-rings the YBRV5325 slide up and down against the stainless bullet whereas the CWR4525 (grease fitting version) the O-rings are...

Haha. I mean engine cleaner.....

Anyone know where I can purchase a pre-made manifolds for the SS bays? You know the manifolds that includes all the hoses going in and one going out with check valves; HP, spot free, presoak, tire, grease, yada, yada?

Sent you a pm

I ordered the O-rings and the white backup rings. That online store is great except for their communication skills. They don't answer the phone nor emails. What I did is measure the O-rings and white rings and then went on their site and ordered several sizes around what I thought they should...

Anyone know the part number for that main 90 degree swivel for the arch on a Razor? Kleen-rite part number or even the Super Swivel part number?

I had my two automatics (at one location) for 30 years and they washed 1.2 million cars. Two years ago I installed two Razors.

For the Zierden 204B in the bays, how often do you grease and how many "pumps" with the gun?

OK Tommy I placed an order with Kleen-Rite and CarWashSuperStore. We'll see if they ship. Thanks.
