FREE SHIPPING IN CONTINENTAL USAll two seat Yaks ( 52/54) plus the Yak 18-T use this large piston in the Pressure Relief Valve.
( Yak 50, Yak 55 and Yak 52TW use the SMALLER diameter PRV Piston that does not have a saddle )
The hex nut on the PRV (Yak 52 shown) - controls the pneumatic system pressure by adjusting a compression spring. That force is on this Piston 24/7 so eventually the rubber slug in the face will take a set - at which time it may not seal as well as a new one.
A great place to start if your air pressure gauge is dropping overnight.
To replace it, * carefully depressurize the system, * remove the hex nut ( making a note of how many turns were required ) * lift out the spring, * swap the piston with your new one * re-install the spring and wind on the same number of turns on the hex * THEN LEAVE IT ALONE for a couple of hours. Let the spring pressure pre-seat the rubber seal BEFORE YOU TURN ON system air.
Doing this will prolong Piston seal life.
