Presto gauge rubber disc
    #26843988 - 07/25/20 04:46 AM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Guys I got a Presto 01784 (induction).

I'm having doubts if I mounted the gauge correctly. I am unsure about the way to position that white rubber disc. This was the best I could do. The picture is taken from the bottom of the lid:



The manual says to just use the fingers to tighten the screw but I though it was too lose and I use a wrench nÂș4 to squeeze it a bit more. You guys think the rubber is too tight?

I already gave the Presto 2 sterilization cycles about 1 hour each and it seems to be working fine.

I'm just afraid one day the rubber cracks or something and the PC blows in my face or hurst someone.

:cheers:

The pressure inside the pot pushes against the assembly and seals it up tight. Loosen it up and redo it like the manual said, surely they have a reason for saying to not overtighten it. They have made them for many years after all.
