Fifty years ago the Saturn five lifted off the launch pad, orbited the earth and headed for the moon. Our launch preparation job was complete, now we had to “clean up”. Our propellant loading equipment was considered contaminated with fuel and oxidizer. With the mobile service structure in a safe parked position our task was to flow the system with a solvent solution to clean the system and sample to ensure that the system was safe. With that done we then purged the system with dry nitrogen and sample to complete the process.

Will the day was going along nicely and a afternoon nap when we realized we had a flood pouring out of the toilet room. I had to get outside and shutoff the water supply to stop the flood from continuing. We realized the toilet was overflowing. After cleaning up the water in the hall and into the bedroom we realized the water valve for the toilet was leaking past in the closed position. I am looking to find a part number on the computer and trying to figure out if I could purchase a replacement valve in the morning. My daughter came over for something I forgot what and we were talking about the problem. She was checking on her phone who is open on Sunday, no one. Her husband came in along the was also getting involved. With this problem we were ‘dead in the water”, I could not turn water on or the toilet would over flow as there was no valve put in by the coach manufacture. I said could we get a cap for the supply line and then we could have water on everything else. John said why don’t we put a valve in the supply line. He went to Home Depot for one and put it in about ten that night. We have water and can put water in the toilet. We ordered a new valve from Amazon with Prime Delivery, it will be here Monday.

The replacement valve showed up in the US mail delivered today. Replacement was easy two screws and water supply line and hose to the vacuum breaker. It was a different meaning of hugging the toilet, to change the valve. The valve was bypassing internally. Normally you step on the pedal and the plastic plunger goes down allowing water into the toilet.
