Vented loop leak

I installed a dozen or so of the Groco bronze loops years ago and most of them leaked even after replacing the valves. I have now either replaced them with marelon ones or replaced the Groco valve with a marelon valve in the threaded cap for the old valve. No failures after 5 years and they signal operation when they give a slight squeak when the valve opens to drain the line.
