Aftermarket valves and parts for LQ

[RobbieH]

Hey all,

Somewhere someone was talking about some aftermarket more heavy duty parts for the LQ, especially metering valves. Now, I can't find it. I did find this thread, but I thought someone had found some really heavy duty ones. If you know, could you post it here please?

Here's the thread I found, but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. That said, if you have tried these, could you give me an update?

I never tried the pinch valve, but it should work if you change the tubing out to something less stiff than the OEM tubing that comes on the LQ.

I searched for a long time for parts that would work, and the ones I found wound up costing as much as much as the Stenner setup I have now.

The float valves I found averaged about $40 a piece and I never found a flow meter that I thought would work.

It's pretty moot anyway. Hasa has a lifetime warranty on parts for the LQ.
