Hi
I believe that the main valve rod and LH M8 nut is supposed to fit onto the cylinder valve rod. My question is, is the thread on the cylinder valve rod supposed to be left handed as well? I seem to have a left handed nut and main valve rod but a right handed thread on the cylinder valve rod.
Thanks in advance

You have an incorrectly produced (cylinder valve rod as you call it) It should have had a M8 left hand thread on it, please call us for a replacement. the main valve rod is correct with its LH thread. sorry for your inconvenience.
