Slip Seal Replacement #3 Torsion Spring with 3 replacement Teflon Washers Replaces broken torsion springs and worn Teflon washers on all Slip Seal aluminum scissor valves. Fits both 5" and 6" valves. These springs are supposed to last over 100,000 cycles but they also seem to be about the only thing that ever fails on these dispensers. When they do fail, we like to suggest that you order 2 of these so you will always have an extra one available. Years ago a customer of mine showed me a clever trick. He had taken an extra spring and taped it to one of the metal cross pieces at the top of the bag. That way it was never misplaced and close by when it was needed most. The set of three Teflon washers fit both 5" and 6" Valves. 3 required per valve. Customers sometimes ask what these washers are for and where they go. Well, Teflon is the material that is applied to cookware to keep food from sticking. It is what as known as a "Dry" lubricant. It needs no additional lubrication (such as oil) to keep it feeling slippery. The three washers fit under the spring and between the two valve pieces where they hinge on the bolt that holds the valve together. The washers keep the pieces from rubbing against each and allows the valve to be operated with much less effort. Teflon is a perfect material for this application because it is maintenence free and doesn't leak all over what you are packaging. They last a long time but they do wear out. Replacing them when you replace the spring will help keep your dispenser valve operating freely and with less wear on the valve surfaces. We have all the replacement parts available.
