Read storyFrequently Asked Questions
-
How many valve inserts come in a pack?
Six clear silicone valve inserts are included.
-
Are the metal rims included?
No. This replacement pack contains the silicone inserts only; the metal rims shown on an assembled system are not included.
-
How do I confirm fit before ordering?
Compare the valve shape and installation position with the product photographs. These inserts are intended for compatible Krysalis down-stem and purge-valve positions. Contact Kaloud support with a clear photo if you are unsure.
-
What do the flexible inserts do?
Each flexible insert acts as a one-way membrane within a compatible valve position. Correct installation and an undamaged shape are important for the intended seal.
-
How should I clean them?
Remove carefully without sharp tools. Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, rinse, and air-dry completely before reinstallation.
-
When should I replace an insert?
Replace an insert if it is torn, cut, permanently deformed, or no longer seats correctly. Discoloration can occur with use; inspect shape and condition rather than color alone.
