What is the procedure to change canister seal
938543
Hi Nancy. There are actually 3 seals associated with this valve. Two are at the bottom and seal the valve assembly to the tank, one inside and one out. To replace either, you need to drain and remove the tank. After that, remove the large valve lock nut and pretty much follow the replacement directions that come with the valve. The seal that I think you are talking about is the one at the bottom of the canister. To replace that seal, drain the tank and twist the canister assembly a quarter turn counter clockwise. This will release it from the mounting assembly and it should pull straight up so you can get to the seal. The seal mounts into a grove at the bottom of the canister and should pull off once you pull it out of the mounting groove. Simply slide the new seal on and make sure its completely seated in the groove. (I don't remember if there is a top or bottom to this seal but there usually is so try to make sure it goes on the same way the old one was. i.e. usually with the seal lip slightly angled down toward the bottom so it can seal well to the bottom mount.) Reinsert the tab at the bottom into the hole in the mount and give it a quarter turn clockwise until you feel the tab lock in place. Gently wiggle it to make sure it's locked down and your done. By the way, if this seal is the one that is leaking, the toilet will run continuously or will empty slightly and refill every so often on it's own. To really check, add a few drops of food coloring into the tank and let it sit. If the food coloring shows up in the bowl after a while (depending on how bad it's leaking) the seal is worn and not sealing. Hope all this helps!

It's very simple. Just unscrew it after draining the tank and relieving the pressure and put the new one in using teflon tape.

screw the horn down on the canister. make sure it is tight but not overly tight. if just air comes out then tighten it more. you can buy replacement canisters. just unscrew the used one and screw on a new one

I don't believe you could add a canister. The company themselves were extremely helpful with ours . They went above & beyond to make sure we were satusfied

You know, I'm not 100 percent sure, but I 'believe' the lower jar is a standard size. You might want to go to BB&B and see if they have the canisters in stainless, or something, that have that lid sealing apparatus already on it, then you just replace the top back with the Hario, you can see how to take the top off, just pinch those stainless pins together and remove it. If it's a standard size, you can even re-use the boot on the bottom and re-attach it so it won't slip. Or just use one of those rubber drawer lining pads they sell that is perforated but 'grips', but it should work.

You will need the model number of your canner which should be in the book that came with it or it is located on the canner itself either on the bottom or located under one of the handles . Once you have this information finding the correct seal is easy

You can replace the seal in this valve without removing the tank! There is a black nut on the very top of the valve, unscrew it and the top will come off so that you can replace the seal. There will a clicking noise when removing the nut, and when you put it back together, turn the nut, till you hear two clicks. You can look on Youtube, for a Kocrky brand of flush valve it is the same as American Standard valve. 30 minute or less to replace the seal! Good Luck

I don't know...that is a good question. It is disappointing that this brand new product did not work. I may look into the replacement canister idea. Thanks.

Two of my four canisters had a good seal. The other two had good seal bands, but the lids were not tight so I bought a bag of wide-band rubber bands (containing various sizes) and placed two of the rubber bands underneath the seals for a tighter grip. It works like a charm, and the set is absolutely beautiful!

not sure of what you are asking. the seal is one peace their is'n any half and half when you take the pump apart you will see what i'm saying. very easy to do, and this will help alot.

You need to firmly press the water fill hose into the small hole at the top of the canister assembly. The snug fit should hold firmly in place. if your fill hose is worn or broken, you may need to replace it as well.

Not sure. I only use it to seal bags. Honestly I didn't even know there was an option to seal canisters.

Hey dave, unfortunately I was unable to get this canister to work for me. Sorry I was not able to answer this question for you.

I was able to remove the seal fairly easily. You will need to use your fingernail or something like a butter knife to press the seal towards the inside of the lid in one of the corners and then kind of roll it. You will be able to pull the seal out easily once you get it loose in one spot.

this depends on the manufacture date of your canner. Mine takes the thicker gasket but I am not sure which part number is thicker. I have the wrong one currently.

Is the problem that it isn't going in all the way, or that it just flops back out? My guess is that it's an issue with getting the lid on properly. As another responder noted, the lid seal needs lubricated if it's too clean. It also needs to be latched into the grooves above the handles on the canister. You have to be fairly firm with the canister to make it go in all the way, I like bracing the mill with one hand & giving the canister a sharp tap with the other to make it seat. If the canister is just flopping out, be sure that you are putting the lid on the canister before inserting it.That's all my ideas.

Hi Margy the gasket is the grey piece that is I between top n bottom of canister. The seal is attached to bottom canister. The two separate for easy cleaning.
