Know before you buy
This kit is specifically engineered for American Multiport Valves manufactured after 1976. If your valve was produced prior to 1976, this kit will not be compatible, so please verify your valve's production date before purchasing.
The kit contains a comprehensive set of replacement parts: 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 ensure the valve components operate smoothly after installation.
The provided lubricant is essential for reducing friction between the moving parts of the valve. Using it during the installation process helps prevent premature wear on the new O-rings and ensures the handle turns easily.
Yes, replacing worn-out O-rings and gaskets is the standard solution for most multiport valve leaks. By restoring the internal seals, this kit helps stop leaks and ensures your filtration system maintains proper pressure.
While the kit provides all the necessary seals, you will typically need basic hand tools like a screwdriver and a pair of pliers to disassemble the valve head. We recommend having a clean workspace to keep the new O-rings free of debris during installation.
