Original Float Valve for Instant Pot Pro 6 Qt 8Qt, Pro Plus, Duo Evo Plus 60, Lux 8 Qt, Duo 8, Duo Plus 8 Qt Replacement Float Valve for Instant Pot with Silicone Seal Ring by Zonefly (2 Pack)

Our original float valve (though instant pot claims their lids are dishwasher safe) started to corrode in the dishwasher, and instant is out of the part, which tells me that it's a common problem piece. This replacement is taller, let me emphasis that point, it is NOT the same length as the piece it replaced, but it WILL WORK. Don't panic, lol. I actually prefer the additional height, it gives a much clearer visual indication of achieving a seal. The part is smooth and well made, the aluminum is anodized and not just painted, and the seals appear to be good silicone, passing all the non destructive tests. I can't tell these seals from the factory ones, which I suppose is a good thing. All in all I'd buy it again, and I'm half tempted to, because I only got one small seal for the valve stem and not two. Not worth taking off a star in my book, but worth mentioning.

Thank goodness for this part to fix my Instant Pot. Easy to install, works perfectly and I am back cooking in my favorite kitchen appliance.

Perfect fit and easy install to replace worn seal of valve on my instant pot lux. Pot reaches and holds pressure perfectly again.

I purchased this set because I needed the "open hole" valve gasket. The image looked exactly like the one I needed and it did fit my 6 qt. Instant Pot Model IP-LUX60-V3 PERFECTLY!!!! I did not need the valve but I replaced it anyways. The valve gasket has an OPEN HOLE in the middle and is NOT a solid piece of Silicone. This is the style that my Instant Pot model needed. I previously had purchased a solid silicone gasket from a different seller, that was described as "fitting" ALL 6 qt Instant Pots, and it did not fit properly. The pressure did not build up and steam kept releasing from valve. Make sure your silicone gasket LOOKS exactly like what you order, don't rely on descriptions that "claim" they fit all 6 qt machines.

I’ve got a 5 qt instant pot. I’ve had it awhile and now they are not the most common size. But all of my accessories fit this pot. And a new pot is expensive, so I wanted to save this one. This valve just went out. I used it one evening for dinner and the next night it would not seal. It wasn’t too hard to figure out what happened. I found this part easily. It came quickly. I put it on and it worked. It was a very easy replacement. I appreciate that. Later—after the move. So I was moving when I put the valve in. It popped right in, no problem. Just as I wrote earlier. I popped it in, put it in the box, packed it up nice and tight—safe and sound…. So a couple of months ago, I pull it out to make baked potatoes. It’s the only way to do potatoes now. The valve is still there….and….the lid won’t close. There is some sort of flat piece that has to pass over the valve in order for the lid to lock. So, back to the drawing board, so to speak. 1) is my appliance an Instant Pot—check 2) is my Instant Pot 5 Qt? No. It’s a 6 Qt. Who knew?! But this valve is supposed to be for a 5 or a 6 QT LUX. So check mark anyway. 3) is my instant Pot a Lux model? It seems to make a difference. Well, the model number is IP—LUX60. I feel safe making the assumption that it is indeed a LUX. Check, check, and check. So I look it up AGAIN on Amazon. It brings up my choices. I pick the most obvious one—oh look! There’s a “You Purchased” banner at the top. Did Amazon send the wrong valve? I ordered it again. Re wives it in the mail today, AND……it doesn’t work!!!! It won’t seat so that the thingy-thing can’t pass over the top and seal the pot! It also will not pass over the pot if I leave off the silicone gasket dealt that secures it inside the lid. So now what?? Instant Pot, if I have to buy another instant pot, it won’t be one of yours. Ohhhhhhhh—-figured it out. This says it fits the LUX 6, then it says it does NOT fit the LUX60….V3!!!!! Seriously!! You can’t make this up. This valve fits every other instant pot 6QT on the planet except my IP—LUX60–V3. The first rule of appliance making SHOULD BE easily replaced parts. You suck, instant pot.

I like to have my backups in place so I don't have to stop in the middle of making something. I love the pressure buttons and they work well.

Excellent product

The metal valve stem does not work in the Instant Pot Model IP-LUX60-V2 - when I installed the valve stem and fitted the silicon seal it fitted fine in the lid of the Instant Pot. However when I went to use the Instant Pot the lid would not turn when I placed it on the main part of the pressure cooker. There is a round metal button on the lid which touches the valve stem (inside the lid) and this would not work correctly with the new valve stem I removed the valve and fitted the new seal on the old valve stem and it worked correctly

The float valve in my 6qt Instant Pot Ultra miraculously disappeared, went to buy the part from Instant Pot itself but they don't have it on the site (or reply to their emails) so ordered this one instead. Works just like the original one did and was easy to install. 5 stars, highly recommend.
