I don't think Taco made it that long just to get rid of some extra brass.Bob Boan
You can choose to do what you want, but you cannot choose the consequences.0 -

Shouldn't be a problem with trimming, however another option that we started last making last year is a 1/8" check valve instead.
When using you take the stem out of the vent.
