Help! PVC gate valve won’t close

[bossanova]

I’m plumbing my first tank, and setting up a Herbie overflow. I had to take my gate valve apart to reseat the o-ring and fix a leak, but I may have loosened the wrong nut and now it won’t close!

Can anyone help a noob to plumbing? I know that if I loosen the nut for the handle I can then adjust it somehow...

I don't have any advise for fixing it. I do have an extra gate valve sitting around here somewhere, though, that I'd be happy to give to you if you can't get it fixed. What size PVC?

Thanks man! I actually fixed it. Opened it all up and the “wafer” was in there sideways...

Glad it all worked out!

The upside is that I now can fix gate valves...
