I think I mentioned in a later post that I am assembling the riser pipes out
of the house. These pieces have never had water in them, they are all new
stock. That isn't the problem.
Also, I believe the valves are cast copper, not brass as I originally said.
I fiddle with it some more tonight.
And thanks to everyone for all the suggestions.
