I just put a brand new set on a yota 4 months ago and they have stuck since day one. They are about to become my back ups and i'll order some reliable ol SMC's. GC are way too expensive to be this bad!!!

Have you pulled them out and checked the diaphragm at all to make sure there is nothing causing it to stick? (teflon, pebble, ect)  I've got GC 250s on mine and had them since day one, daily driven for two years now and they havent stuck on me once. Great valve IMO.

I don't know what all you have or how it's ran but i do know that the GC valve has been known to stick from time to time, I have found that if i give them some sort of back pressure then they stop sticking. but that is more or less for the dump valve. like taking a 1/2" dump valve and use about 3"s  of 1/2" copper line and then crimp the end down just a little at a time.  but that is not the case for the fill valve. they get pressure from both sides of the valve.  But if it was my problem then i would do what  "bagtodrag (Brian@KEGMedia)"  was talking about. Good luck with the sticky problem bro..
