The instruction "turn to the left" or clockwise, is confusing. Threads that tighten by turning clockwise are referred to as "right handed threads." You can confirm this by viewing the valve operation on an empty tank. When you turn the valve counter-clockwise (to the left), you can see the valve open up. Conversely, when you close the valve by turning it clockwise, it will not be fully closed until it "seats", or stops turning after applying mild pressure.
Thanks this video saved my butt at work. You did a great job.
We are very glad to hear that!
