One such valve was sticking on my MH. I removed the air-in line and added several drops of air-tool oil, then worked the valve by hand until it moved freely. I reinstalled the valve and it still works fine today.

Best I found was, it can be a different style valve as long as it is 12V-powered and configured the same way.
have you ran a search for your valve model #? When I did for mine, several results were for a different brand, but did the same thing.
Your valve has 3 ports, I rebuilt a different norgren valve on my MH that has 5 ports. "O" rings are available at most any ACE hardware store.

The Norgren A16-18694-000 is the same part that my coach uses. That part number includes the wiring harness, which you don't need. I used part number V60P411A-A512JK, which is the same valve without the cable so it is less expensive.


Note that I have had three leak so far and am not impressed with Norgren right about now.

I have been corresponding with Norgren and they have issued an RMA for my leaking valve. They provided an acceptable leak rate for the valve, which seems a bit high to me. They will evaluate my valve and determine if a replacement is warranted. I will be buying a new valve and if they concur my old valve is out of spec, they will refund my money.

On another note, Freightliner simply installed a short tube in the exhaust side of the valve. Tiffin installed a sintered bronze muffler in the Parker valve they use in the Powerglide chassis.

I’m now wondering if the short tube Freightliner uses is allowing dust and dirt into the valve, which over time promotes leakage. I am ordering a muffler in my new valve.

The link to the repair kit does not seem to work... is there a better lead to this elusive kit ?
Thanks!

I was told by Norgren that there is no rebuild kit. I partially disassembled my old valve and it appears there is a ball pressed into the body that needs to be removed to gain access to the piston. If mine fails again, I plan to switch to a Parker Extreme valve. I am on my third Norgren valve in three years and don’t think the quality is there.

My 2006 journey on Freightliner chassis has same valve. Problem is the new valve Comes with different size wiring connections, So I have to replace the entire cable. I can't find where the cables terminate into the single connector.

It appears to Go up under the Dashboard but I spent 2 and a 1/2 hours looking for it and I'm stumped. Can any of You Tell Me where that 2 cable harness connects up front?

Transfer the old solenoids to the new valve. They are only held on with a C-clip. Also, I don’t understand how they can be different as they are a standard DIM connector on the solenoid. I ordered the valve without the cable as it is quite a bit cheaper.
