Trident recalls gas system solenoid
Trident Rubber Inc. has recalled the solenoid valves in its quarter-inch Trident Marine LPG Systems sold between March and October 2010. The recall was issued late last year when the company discovered that defective quarter-inch 12-volt and 24-volt Parker-branded solenoid valves were used in the systems. The LP gas control solenoid valve may not fully turn off, allowing gas to continue to flow to the distribution system until it is turned off at the LPG cylinder. The plunger piston assemblies, which move to open or close the valve to gas flow, are defective
