I had the same experience with the RBI valves. I ended up throwing all of them out after they all started leaking a month and half in from the time of purchase. The VariFlow valves by Edstrom as well as the standard size seem to be somewhat better quality. I still occasionally have on that leaks but not every one of them as happened with the RBI valves.
