Does this sit on the "jiggler" vent, or does the dial gauge need removed so it sits on that opening?

On the jiggler vent. It was a little intimidating to put it on the first time after the venting portion of pressure canning (make sure to vent so enough air is expelled!), I think I actually chickened out and had to try again - but it's really not scary after you've done it once. I recommend doing a practice run before canning if it's your first time pressure canning. I went through the entire process except for putting jars in and found it to be very helpful.

This sits on the vent don't take off the dial gauge, with this is installed it will start to let off steam and keep it at the pressure you select, 5-10-15 pounds of pressure. When it starts the jiggle turn the heat down so that it moves every 4or 5 times a minute so you don't have to keep your eye on the dial all the time you are canning. It's great. Makes canning easier.

It sets on the "jiggler" vent that the regular weight would sit on. The dial weight should not be removed.

Gauge is attached to center of the lid, the vent is to the side and separate. The jiggler sits on the vent.

Hi Shirley, it sits right on the vent pipe where the jiggler would sit. You keep the dial gauge but use the weight instead of the jiggler. Meaning, if you need 10lbs of weight you place the piece with one ring. Once your canner comes up to pressure based on the weight you have on the vent pipe (5,10,15Lbs) it will start to hiss slightly and rock indicating it is maintaining the correct pressure. As long as it continues to rock it is at the correct pressure. According to gardenforums.com the 3:1,weight is suppose to be more reliable than the gauge. If you use the weight you don't rely on the gauge. I still look at my gauge :-), but rely on the weight since the gauge could be off.

You do not have to remove the dial gauge. The little weight thing sits on the juggler vent.

It is a completely sealed maintenance free battery so you don't need it to be vented. It isn't like a standard lead acid battery which is why you need the vent. You will be fine to put this in.

Did you contact the company? I know they fix their hair dryers if you send them back. Try buying a piece of screening in a hardware store and cutting it to fit the vent opening.

It screws on. I don't notice any weird pressure leak during the screw on and off process though

Mine doesn't look exactly like that one, it's really close though. The "wire or gizmo" is attached to a little black thing on the bottom next to that button on the neck (which is how u start it once the gas is on) which is the safety shut off if it gets knocked over and the wire goes to what I believe is a sensor of some kind that goes into the heated part and will shut it off if it's not lit.

I didn't have any problem with the gauge. Having never used this product and not being a car guy I was using the gauge, but once the compressor kicked on the needled redlined. So I had to start letting coolant out, while the compressor was engaged, until the needle on the dial dropped back to the proper zone. Some of those responses may have been from people like me who have no experience and just don't know how to work it properly. That being said, I am sure you could buy just a gauge on amazon or your local car supply store.

I had that same problem, i had to you a flat head screwdriver, if not it would have stayed stuck in the vent. When you use the flathead make sure you push it in also due to the hooks that hold on to the vent.

They are easily removable from the housing. I'm not sure the exact measurements. I would have to check that. What measurement are you looking for? The outer dial of the gauge or the diameter of the hole needed to fit the gauge or body of the gauge? Does that make sense? lol

I think I found it on google, but what I did was drop front of track set it on short ladder. Took end off of track pulled out old one. Then I slid new one in place then activated opener to open. It sucked it right in. The you need to put back to gether. Then you have to make adjustments for open and close positions. Took about 30 minutes.

This can be confusing. The unit replaces the Ventline cover used for many years. The only way to tell is if the cover on your vent has an outside hinge that is like a small track for the cover to slide into. The ventline has an inside track that allows the riser to slide inside the cover. Inside, the unit decorative plastic piece has to be removed to allow the slide/riser to disconnect from th cover. The cover then can be removed by bending one of the two tabs on the track and sliding the cover out. Reverse for reassembly.

We brought our venting separately -- not included from Rinnai. Inorder to have it inspected, it has to be properly vented.

The bulb is removable/replacable, but you would ruin the gauge by removing the gauge face. Wouldn't recomend

it slides out of the front vent. you pull it up and out. wash it off, dry it and put it back in. Very easy

I have two of these. One is in a Murano and I take it on and off periodically. The two clips that are spring loaded and reach into your vent actually also slide horizontally and can be removed from the back of the main body. Work it either right or left and slip the peg through the hole. Then slide the thing the other direction and slip out the other pin. Then you have separated the unit and are looking at two spring loaded clips stuck in your vent. They come out as the other two answers have described. Got it?

It is adjustable. However, be aware that the prongs that hold it on the vent are delicate so don't move it too much.

not sure what you mean. 5 bezel I expect you to mean at the top where the light bulb is. I'm not aware that this comes off and it is not indicated in the instructions. If you mean unscrewing it in the middle below the adjustment ring, mine works very smoothly just as it does at the bottom of the flashlight battery compartment. If either one of those has thread problems, then yes you may have a defective unit that should be replaced

Both answers are correct. The secret is the clamp on first -about where you want the top of the baffle to be.
