The check seat is cast in the body and is not replaceable. The A designation in the model number refers to a design change in the air inlet parts. Both models will accept the new "A" design. The air inlet utilizes a rubber fold to exert the pressure for the air inlet loading. There is no spring on the air inlet. Before 1994 the test cocks used were a specially designed needle valve that required turning of the test cock to operate. In 1994 a standard ball valve type test cock was utilized.
