They need the valve. They can't really bitch about the price of the valve. But, they can bitch about the engineering time it took to buy the valve. It's the one cost they think they can keep down by complaining. In reality, engineering costs are minuscule compared to the total costs and every dollar of engineering on the front end saves them $100 in the field.Clayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905149250548893628noreply@blogger.com
