Cardboard vent leak

Revain delivered it next day but was found to be leaking from the vent during installation. My plumber has to open all the spring loaded valves to check why it's leaking and he found that the washer in the safety valve (the one in that big round 6 bolt part at the bottom) wasn't installed properly and he also found dirt -like sand on the diaphragm to a brand new item.

  • Test results stable

  • Newer model could have been chosen

I'm glad I did a little work and searched online for this device. $230 later and an hour of installation seems a lot better than paying contractors' installments. Be sure to follow the Pressure Relief Procedure,

  • Socket required
