Always wait after making changes to the RC valve, because it does take a moment before you actually see any changes!
Will, are you saying that your RC allows fumes to get thru? You said you get a few drops when you turn your PC on full... Unless I'm reading this wrong?!?! If this is the case, I'd be worried because it sounds like alcoholic fumes get thru... I'd consider that very dangerous... :scared-eek:

The RC 1/2 gate valve is open full and tap with town water pressure is on full as well. After 30 min or so i start adjusting taps so at least another 20-30 before i get it set after letting it settle. But What about the sight glasses on the tees getting full should I be taking some copper mesh out so they don't start to load up to much. and if so should I be putting it somewhere high. Im thinking just take some out and leave it out just have a loser roll of copper.

When I do a neutral run I have 5 plates, 500mm packed section then the rc, still have to run real slow for really clean neutral. Couldn't see your pic by the way. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Also your 500mm packed section should be above your plates. :-B
