Repair of the water unit of the gas column Neva Lux 5513, 5514, 6011, 6014. Repair kit Neva Lux. Placement date 02/28/2017

If a water unit is flowing in your column from under the seal gland, - here you are! If the membrane does not move the stem and the microswitch when the hot water tap is opened, and the column is silent and there is no spark, then you too! More complex malfunctions usually relate to the operation of the control unit or valve block. In this article, we consider only the problems with starting the column or leaking the stuffing box of the stem seal of the water unit.
We use the repair kit offered by us in the water units of the Neva Lux 5513, 5514, 6011, 6014 geysers. Date of entering new data 26.04.2016 Moreover, the version of this unit can be either brass, which was in the first columns, or "plastic", a newer version. The versions of the Neva Lux gas water heaters were originally completed with a brass assembly. In the brass assembly, the diaphragm and stem were ABSOLUTELY THE SAME design.

We had a man with a brass knot in his hands, who witnessed and allowed to take the following photos, so that you and we EXACTLY make sure that the kit offered today is exactly the same as the original.

Briefly about the brass knot. Information about working with the kit is below.

So. Contents of this repair kit: Silicone diaphragm with already integrated poppet + stem seal gland + grease. Previously, the diaphragm was made of rubber and the stem with seals was also included. At this stage, we can offer only a sealing ring to the membrane, and you need use an existing stock... Order this repair kit now.

Replacing the membrane is usually not a problem. We disassemble the water unit. The photo shows the location of the membrane. Do not forget the brass threaded retainer (inserted into the membrane eyelet) and wrap it up, fixing the bypass hole. We place the membrane “concave up” so that it has a course inside the node. If set on the contrary, it will not work.

The main difficulty usually arises when trying to get close to the stem seal when repairing a leak. The rubber band cannot be reached from the outlet side of the stem.

Turn over this half of the assembly and see the washer (or plug). With all her behavior and standing to death, she can be easily removed with a sharp awl. We put something sharp directly inside the hole and just pick it out from there. It is worth recalling here restrained strength plus accuracy. That is, we pick out carefully, but strongly.

She's not going anywhere. When the washer is removed you will see the stem seal rubber underneath. If this elastic band is worn out from the knot it drips. We replace it with a new one from our kit.

Now a few words about the correct assembly of the stem. Below are two photos showing the Neva Lux gas water column fully equipped.

Point by point, it can be described as follows:
1. We put the seal ring and immediately on top of it with a finger a smear of grease.
2. Snap the washer back
3. We put a rod into the hole
4. We take the padding. We put it on the stock. We apply grease so that the packing is saturated.
5. We cover the whole thing with a cap.

And cover the stem with a membrane with the corresponding side so that the stem rests on the plate from the side of the flat platform.

We close the water unit. We install it in its place. We start the column. Finally we wash.
Thanks to all!
