Hi All.

Im getting Jodie B ready for diving this summer.  Not much to do but I
decided to take off the 2" flood valve as I was not 100% happy it threaded
on enough when I originally put it on.

However, when i took it off, it was pretty difficult to unscrew so I do
think it was probably ok, just me being paranoid.

Anyway, its off now and needs some cleaning up.  But I have a question(s)
which someone may be able to help with.

1. How many turns is this supposed to have.  Its a 2" BSPT thread onto
obviously the same.

2. I could weld the valve on (carefully) to make sure its really not going
to burst off.   Do you think I need to do this?

I made a video which shows it all coming apart.  Its only 7 minutes long.

Advice much appreciated.
Thanks
James
