Microphor toilet - David Brady - 03-16-2006 11:56 Folks, There's an air valve under the sink in my bathroom that seems to be leaking. The valve is part of the control for the microphor toilet. The valve has an input and an output a pinhole and an adjustment thumb wheel. Air seems to constantly leak from the pinhole. When I ,the air leak for the pinhole stops, after flushing is complete leaking resumes. The valve seems to be some sort of pressure regulator/bleed off valve. Any idea what it does, how it should work, and where I might find a replacement (if indeed a steady bleeding of air is abnormal)? TIA, David Brady '02 LXi, Smokey, Va Microphor toilet - David Brady - 03-16-2006 12:50 Thanks George, I'll give Lee at Microphor a call in the morning.

They give excellent support. Good excuse for a trip to the west coast to visit the factory. You should have a manual which describes all the parts, etc. If not, you can get it from Microphor.

The part is made by Clippard and is blue-bird part number: 3824745. This part was leaking causing my air compressor to be on approx. 15% of the time. I installed a new regulator and all is well again. David Brady, '02 LXi, Smokey, Va David Brady wrote: > Folks, > > There's an air valve under the sink in my > bathroom that seems to be leaking.
