The holes on the inside throughout are not centered, rather drilled along the sides of the valve, is this normal?

I don't know why that is but I've had it about a month now and not 1 drippy leak. "knock on wood"

You have a bad valve. Online you can find fixes if your willing to take apart and work on it. Probably have sedament it the valve.

There definitely were threads on my ball valve. I simply purchased a street ell and drained it that way. Someone knowledgeable with plumbing fittings can configure it anyway you want. Bring ball valve to Home Depot and they can help you out.

No it ia NOT normal.Also, be careful with the main control knob on the front. Mine broke off easilyThe main control knob is held by screws that come from inside the machine, so to fix it, the entire machine must be taken apart. This machine truly is a terrible design.

it is possible the valve is no good or is not lined up to completely shut of the other valves while in the filter position. their should be no water coming from that valve also make sure your pressure valve on the left of that hole is closed.

Great question! We believe the valve is fully accessible and there are replacement parts. The valve is ordered with the trim (handle and plate) not embedded into the iBox. It's a pretty brilliant design. Grohe is now offering a similar set up.We had a question about accessing the stops and a live person answered the 800-number and walked us through the process. They also guided us to the latest installation manual as we had received an old one from the Amazon seller. It all worked out great!

I've had mine since August 2012 and have had no problems whatsoever. I assume you mean the control section that sticks out to the side. Was it damaged in any way during install or use? On mine, I had to connect the water line before mounting it to the toilet as it would have been in the way. If by any chance you are referring to the water shut off valve coming out of your wall, I've learned to NEVER try to turn them off. They are usually badly corroded internally and start leaking (or worse, the handle comes off in your hand) after you turn the handle. I found that out when I replaced some sink faucets. Instead, use the street valve to shut off all water to the house and save yourself an emergency trip to Home Depot for a replacement valve, if it's not past closing time and you now have no running water until you can get to them when they open the next day.

Yes, there is a problem. The internal valve has a tendency to stick within the first two weeks, impeding water flow. The only way to prevent this was to remove the valve completely, eliminating the handy feature of having a quick connect that doesn't require turning the water off to move the hose. The other issue is as others mentioned. The ones I bought were brass, but about one in 5 chronically leaked. If I had it to do over, I would not have purchased.

There is a small gauge in the black portion that sticks off of the valve attachment. I found when using it with my schrader valves it is not always the most accurate.

Hmm. Is the insert seated correctly inside? Otherwise, don't know; sounds defective.

I see that on mine too....about a 1/2 inch mark extending from each hole. They are not cracks. My guess is it is normal and is done as part of the manufacture process. Probably has to do with proper hole placement to ensure the best intonation. I wouldn't be concerned about it.

That is definitely a defective valve. In normal operation, the valve is held by gravity against the top of the percolation column and only rises a small fraction of an inch when the pressure is high enough to allow the coffee to escape into the upper chamber. Return this pot immediately and request a replacement.

Theres two sides of the valve a fast side an slow side an without the valve it leaks

The holes are to big for the air chambers not for the actual intake valve. I ended up going to the dealer and buying the part because the shipping took to long. I kept the part because I hear this is a common problem so the next time if it occurs I will adjust the part to work.It is twice as much at the dealer but you get everything and is fixed in 15 minutes.

On the bottom part, on each side for hot/cold. You can go to the website and download schematic/drawing for it that will show the valves better

I have the same problem. The problem is a little Gasket inside the Flush Valve Assembly (THU322) which over time gets cut from the pressure against the plastic rim. I'm currently contacting Toto on this and crossing my fingers they have good customer service.
