Microphor LF210 air leak
#6

Well I got the toilet working properly and I want to make sure I explain how I did it so it makes sense in relation to my first post. My LF210 wasn't flushing correctly, the flapper valve would only briefly open and it did not pressurize the hopper properly either. So I ordered an air water sequence valve service kit PN 95187 and installed it in the original black sequence valve. Put it back in the toilet, but still did had the same problem. That was when I determined that the black sequence valve had cracked at the bottom of the valve. A replacement new gray style sequence valve as a complete unit is not inexpensive, but it is an upgraded gray body valve that is much more robust. Since I had about $130 in the PN 95187 service kit, I was hoping to use the just purchased service kit and try and outfit just a gray valve ( body only ) that is available as a blank. ( pn 39386 ) But I wasn't sure if all of what is in the PN 95187 service kit will make a complete sequence valve if the parts that are lacking could be used from the old black valve. So the answer is, yes, you use all of what is in the 95187 service kit and then reuse the piston ( pn 39510 ) from the old black valve and using the new gray body blank, you end up with a complete air water sequence valve. Is this something I would tell people is the way to go if you need a new air water sequence valve? Not really unless your situation was just like mine and you have a fresh PN 95187 service kit already, a unusable old black valve and you can get a blank gray valve body only, then spend the time to build up and test before install. In the long run, it maybe better to just order an already built up sequence valve. There are some important hints on swapping black for gray valves, or installation of the service kit in either valve I will post in another thread. Below is a picture of a old black style valve, the old style open end cap stem ( a water leak failure point ), the new style closed end cap stem and a new style body only gray valve body.
