Know before you buy
This kit is specifically engineered for American Multiport Valves manufactured prior to 1976. If your valve was produced after this date, the internal dimensions and seal requirements will differ, and this kit will not be compatible.
The kit contains a complete set of essential seals: two Teflon backup O-rings, two shaft O-rings, one N/S quad O-ring, and one spoke gasket. It also includes a lubricant to assist with the installation process and ensure smooth valve operation.
You will generally need basic hand tools to disassemble the valve head and remove the old gaskets. Since the kit includes lubricant, you won't need to purchase additional seal grease to complete the installation.
Yes, replacing worn-out O-rings and gaskets is the standard solution for addressing leaks at the valve handle or waste port. By restoring the integrity of these seals, you can effectively stop internal and external leaks and improve filtration efficiency.
No, this kit is not compatible with post-1976 models. Valve designs were updated after 1976, and the gasket and O-ring sizes in this kit will not fit those newer configurations.
