35-3 icebox valves

[treilley]

Can anyone tell me the size of the icebox valves under the galley sink on my 35-3? I had one of them break in the closed position and I would like to have the part in hand when going to the boat next. Also, is it fairly easy to R/R them? At first glance it appeared thay are very tight to the wall of the compartment.

Sorry

Sorry can't tell you without measuring myself, I might quess 1/2".

However brought to mind a small nightmare, any thoughts on how to get to the bottom of the main aft box. Both of our icebox drains work great but I figure some day we will have to change out hose(s) and the aft unit seems like major surgery, perhaps with a sawzall to the lower portion of the bulkhead under the sink, yuk! I've often thought of getting in there and filling any free space with foam to limit condensation.

Here are the valves

The valves say 13-1/2 type c and in another area F10. Perhaps this will help. I'm sure any valve control will do
