New Fumoto F106SX

Hi,

Checking in to see if anyone here has installed the newest revision of the Fumoto valve:

I'm planning on ordering it, but wanted to check in here just in case someone has discovered a R50-related issue with it.

Thanks!

I'm using the "old" version with no issues. Not sure how I feel with the more parts version, but I understand the point of making it this way. It will most likely give you a bit more room to operate the valve, unlike the older version that point toward the power steering fan.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

The SX is also supposed to drain faster, which is an added bonus.

I'll post here with some reactions after I get it installed.
