I need help repairing the Valves after 60 + plus years of service the springs need to be replaced. I cannot figure out how remove the springs, they springs are available. I also need a sources of used fitings. Thanks in advance. Bill
 
I've used Wade-Rain T-valves since I was young before, a long time ago. Moses was a drinking buddy. As I remember, you probably need to remove the nut on top, push the shaft down and then remove the disc and rubber gasket and then the shaft and spring is relieved and removeable. Most of the time the nut is going to be rusted fast to the stem which may require more parts if you have to cut it off. I cannot find a parts picture of the valve. Try Lee Rain in Vineland, New Jersey. They are pretty good with irrigation parts and solutions.
 
Dave, I have the top nut off,have cut the spring off, now I'm trying to get the washer and gasket off. How do you hold the bass shaft to remove the nut that is weld to the lower washer? Thanks for the reply.
 
The old Wade t-valves seem to be obsolete. Maybe you can still get gaskets and springs. The new style for most all manufacturers is the top screw-down arrangement which is far easier to repair and seal. For the old Wade pop-up seal t-valves, there was probably a tool to compress the spring then remove the nuts and spring keeper and then remove the valve disc from the stem and then the spring. By the looks of mine, you may have to heat the nuts a bit for removal although if the stem is brass, they should let go pretty easily. Another thing is that on a 6 X 6 valve, the plate is about 6 as are the mainline openings so you would probably have to remove the mainline gaskets for clearance. I hope this helps.
