## Discrepancy

DURING AN INSPECTION, DISCOVERED LT WING DE-FUEL VALVE HAD DAMAGED THREADS, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.  REMOVED VALVE FROM AIRCRAFT AND ORDERED A REPLACEMENT VALVE, PN 2770086-103.  RECEIVED A NEW VALVE, INSPECTED IT, AND FOUND IT OKAY TO INSTALL.  AT INSTALLATION, FOUND THE HOLES SLIGHTLY MISALIGNED.  VALVE DID FIT, HOWEVER, LEAK CHECKS FAILED.  VALVE WAS REMOVED AND A REPLACEMENT VALVE ORDERED AND INSTALLED WITHOUT ANY MATING OR MISALIGNMENT PROBLEMS.  THIS VALVE WAS A NEW VALVE, SN 1395, RECEIVED FROM CANADAIR AS THEY RECEIVED IT FROM PARKER.  FINAL INSPECTION AT BOTH FACILITIES DID NOT REVEAL DEFECT.  RECOMMEND A CHECK OF OTHER UNITS IN STOCK AND AT THE MFG TO PREVENT THESE OCCURRENCES FROM RECURRING.
