Prime Lost - Hope this helps

Hal very good point. My wording was not good. Thank you. I glad you caught that.

What I should have written was he unscrewed the top assembly (the one with the lever) and pulled that off. The bottom valve assembly was left in place. After removing the lever assembly he just put it aside. He then removed the rubber spider gasket/ring while the assembly was still attached to the pool pvc lines, from the bottom section.

I hope that makes sense. If not someone else who does this all the time might wish to re-write what I am trying to say, I would welcome that.

This seems fairly straight forward to do. What is not straight forward was removing the old bad glue, it took him a long time, it is a delicate job. I believe if you use the right glue from 3M you should put in on a dry assembly and let it set dry for 15 minutes with the spider gasket/ring attached. If you ever need to remove the 3M glue 3M has a substance that will do this for you. To order it the name is marked on the glue tube. This makes removing the 3M glue very simple.

Hal does this make sense?
