Frozen water deck fill

[drdanj]

Anyone have advice for breaking open a completely frozen Amiot water deck fill? I've spent several days spraying dry lube around the opening, whacking it with a hammer, so far, it hasn't budged. I getting to where buying a new deck fill may be the answer, but then I'd have to figure out how to unscrew the unit and lift it enough to unhook it from the filler tube.

Our corroded shut too, I ended up cutting them out with a dremel and replacing with SS replacements

good luck to you. I tried to freeze it, heat it, lubricate it with number of products. Even devised a 3' steel bar with two SS bolts embedded in the cap. my advise is to unscrew the whole thing from the deck and replace with SS fitting. (that's what i end up doing after weeks of trying and wasting money .

Spent an entire summer trying every possible solution. Save your time and sanity and buy a new deck fitting and replace the entire thing

Easy to replace too. Remove the deck screws, remove sealant and it will pull up through the deck enough to replace at the hose. Rebed with butyl. Done

I figured I'd wind up replacing the thing. Now I'm looking for a replacement that has an inside flange (hose on the outside) and can't find one. All replacements are outside flanges with hoses to go inside. That seems like not such a great idea.

Buy one from Benetaue US.

I found it! They now have stainless steel replacing aluminum. That's worth the price.

[Jeff Taylor]

Their parts are a total piece of crap and for the aggravation it’s gonna cost to you it would be faster just to completely replace it

Preventive maintenance is to use Vaseline on threads every fill up.  Been using it for decades and no freezures(Sp?).

We had similar problem with the pump out deck fill, so my wife got the idea to pour hot water on it, and after a few minutes we were able to unscrew it.
