Hi Dan; you can add a lubricant to the # T1003VP seals but I would stay away from Vaseline. It is petroleum based so it can damage the seals over time. A silicone spray would be a better choice.

Hey Dan, how did things go using the silicone spray on your Valterra gate valve seals? Your update could make it easier for others working on the same type of valve.
