Review on ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Primeswift 990-53 Humidifier Water Valve Assembly for GeneralAire 24V, 3.5 Gallon/hr - Replaces 1042, 1042L, 1042LH, 1137 by Alex Tellekson

Works but stick with your old fittings (see below)

This unit works great with my 1024LH General Aire humidifier EXCEPT this unit does not include a flow restrictor so keep your previous fittings. The flow restrictor (on my unit) was installed on the "IN" side of the old valve. I used some vinegar and salt to clean the old flow restrictor and install it on the new valve. When a ton of water flows through the humidifier, there is no flow restrictor. I thought the flow restrictor was in the newest valve, but it's not the brass fitting on the inlet side.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • old
