This gasket in your nail gun serves as a sealing component that prevents air leakage and maintains pressure within the firing mechanism. It is found where the cylinder cap attaches to the gun body. The gasket may wear out due to repeated use or exposure to debris or contaminants. If you observe signs of air leaks, inconsistent firing, or damage like cracks or brittleness in the gasket, it is likely that it needs replacement. To replace the gasket, you will need an Allen wrench. Begin by locating the cylinder cap assembly and unthreading the screws securing it in place. Once the cap is removed, you will have access to the gasket. Replace the old gasket with a new one before reattaching the cover. Please keep in mind that this OEM replacement part is sold individually.
In addition to a new piston bumper and manifold gasket I installed an O-ring kit. I started with the firing mechanism valve assembly which unscrews from the body using a box wrench. I cleaned the valve and fitted new O-rings the lubricated and reinstalled. When there was still a problem I disassembled further and found that the piston
... Read morebumper had been dissolved after someone had tried to clean the tool with solvent. I removed the manifold cap, piston and cylinder and flushed the unit with WD-40. I wiped and dried all pieces then lubricated all O-rings and reassembled. The most important thing to remember is to properly reinstall the neoprene band that covers the small holes in the middle of the cylinder. The band acts as a one-way valve allowing the pressure charge to vent into the outer cylinder chamber where it then forces the piston back up completing the firing cycle. Everything else is step by step except for the band since it will slide out of position during disassembly and unless you know where it goes back your tool will fail to cycle. A little study and you can figure it out if you don\'t know.
Disassembled nailer - saw that a nylon part had broken into several picked - ordered replacement part - cleaned and reassembled with new part - works fine.
Removed the cylinder cap, removed the old gasket, removed the o-ring from the piston and installed the new one. Placed the new gasket on the gun and installed the cylinder cap.
Removed the four allen head screws from the cylinder cap and removed it
Removed the cylinder and cleaned the inside of the gun
Installed all of the o-rings, piston stop and gasket
Oiled the insides of the gun
Replaced the cylinder cap
Unscrewed the cap, saw bit and pieces of plastic what turned out to be the piston stop. Replace gasket while it\'s still ok. Cleaned up all debris, returned cap. And test fire, works every single press of the trigger! Amazing!! Then placed several drops of lubricant and fire a few time to distribute the oil. That\'s it!
