As Scott noted as well ... turn the handle first .

Heck, I spun (is that a word?) it many time before even attempting to lift/open.

And over the next hour or so during the HI, I tried many times tapping on the valve ... but ... what the heck ... It is what it is and that is/was part of the job.

Can just decide to put in a "fail/replacement" statement for any that are over 3-years old.
