Hi,

I have a brand new Spears gate valve that leaks from the bonnet section. This is an expensive gate valve that I use for throttling the overflow Herbie style.

Anyone deal with something similar?

Thanks,

Art

Update: I opened the valve up and noticed that the O-ring was not placed correctly from the factory. I installed it where it should be. The valve doesn't seem to be leaking now.

Hope this helps someone who runs into the same thing.
