The spring support in the steam and water valve of the Appartamento TCA is the first of these. It takes up the spring force and transfers it into the valve mechanism, neatly centred and without tilting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the support is worn, deformed or sits askew, the spring loses part of its effect, or it pushes unevenly. The result then looks like a tired spring or a poor seal – but it isn't.
