How do I fix a leak on/near the bypass valve?

  1. Make sure that your flex piping is not exerting too much downward or upward force on the bypass system. If the flex piping and/or PVC is causing the bypass and yoke to tilt, then this could be putting angled pressure on the meter which could also lead to a leak.
     
  2. There are four O-rings where the meter meets the control valve. If you were to pull the meter away from the control valve head during disassembly you will notice four O-rings in total. Ensure that the O-rings are in place on the grooves and properly lubricated with silicone grease.
     
  3. Make sure that O-rings on the inside of the bypass valve are lubricated properly with silicone grease. This will ensure a good connection between the bypass and the yoke. There are four O-rings in total between the bypass and yoke. Ensure that the O-rings are in place on the grooves and properly lubricated.
     
  4. Ensure that your metal clamps are screwed into the right spot.  Sometimes these clamps can be put in the wrong place so we would recommend double-checking this to ensure that this is not the issue. The metal clamp should be screwed into the hole that is closest to the control head and not furthest away.
