3 Piece Ball Valve? I Think Not!

[donburke]

replaced my silicone hoses today, after a year and a half of use, and saw an opportune time to soak the camlocks in some pbw ... then thought, why dont i do the ball valves given they've never been pulled apart

they were full of gunk, hop debris, break material and smegma

here i was thinking my cleaning regime of recirculating hot pbw was good enough

obviously not
