You can buy a repair kit. When mine went I just bought another one from Bunnings and swapped them over ,easy peesie job.

The brass nut labelled 920533* just sits there while the diaphragm moves up and down 50,000 times. There is nothing to stop the nut unscrewing after a few years. Water then leaks past the diaphragm and rusts the spring which then collapses. This is typical bad design by Nefa.

But the diaphragm is perfect, so a repair kit is not needed. The nut should have a locknut.

not sure if a lock nut would even stop that. bit of loctite possibly. most of the regulators i deal with its just a rivet. that works loose, leaks and screws up the pressure.

I will put in a brass screw that is long enough to have two brass nuts that can be locked together. Why do I have to keep redesigning products that go wrong?

Careful you're probably driving a car with only 1 nut on each wheel stud.

My wheels are not made of rubber (and the Nefa valve is made of rubber). I put the nuts on with a torque wrench.
