I’m restoring this tank and I need to replace the diaphragm. I have attached a pic. I need the top one but all I can find is the bottom one. Is there a supplier for these? Please advise. Thank you
376987 (1957) diaphragm with riveted support washers was replaced by 0377327 kit which updated it to 1958 style with different push button and support washer.
Wow! ya learn something every day. I have a bunch of those tanks and every one I have with that metal washer on it is held on with a small nut and lock washer. I have just punched a hole in the diaphragm and it was good to go. Bill I could find you a push button with a nut on it if you want. PM me if you want to do that.
Bill, I have that mushroom shaped button and support washer that you need to upgrade, allowing you to use that new diaphragm you have. Here’s my email if you want to get a hold of me. sdpiazza (at) aol (dot) com
Bill it looks like Steve has you covered. I have more tanks with silver buttons than I originally thought. I like the pressure tanks but they can be tricky to repair.
