Multi port gasket

[RussellC]

I've replaced nearly every gasket on my pool pad since taking ownership of my pool last summer. It just got cold for the first time and I noticed a little seepage from the SP740DE multi port valve on the filter. Is there anything special about replacing the gaskets on this valve vs the smaller neverlube valves? Is there an outside O-ring as well as the internal spider gasket? I figured once I was in there I would replace the spider gasket as well. Is there anything different about that then just lube it up and drop it in?

I am not positive but most of the multiport have an O-ring at the base of the handle, then an 0-ring or a gasket where the top of the multiport meets the body and then another (the spider) gasket in the base of the assembly.

I have replaced my spider gasket and it was fairly simple. Some people glue that spider gasket but that would worry me to death.......that I might have to remove it someday.

Just lube it good and drop it in.
