Reconditioning services are also available for our current generation canisters. We will replace the valve and clean and leak test the canister at a cost that is less than replacing the entire canister. To request reconditioning services, please follow these steps:

  1. Contact Restek’s customer service team or your local international representative to place an order for custom cat.# 569419 (RAVE diaphragm valve) using a purchase order.
  2. Obtain a service authorization number (SRV#) to place on the shipping container.
  3. Clean the canister before shipment to Restek.
  4. Include a completed “Health and Safety Declaration.”
  5. Return the canister intact. Do not remove valves, gauges, or parts from the canister.

To request any of these repair services, simply contact our Customer Service Team or your local Restek International Representative.
