Kuhn Rikon Valve 1485
To be sure you get the right item, please check the parts page before ordering.
Has it been a while since you replaced your cooker's gasket? Gaskets need to be replaced periodically, as they harden over time and stop sealing, which causes pressure loss. It’s a gradual process that’s easy to overlook, but performance declines and before long your cooker won’t work at all. It's a good idea to keep a backup gasket on hand too, in case yours gets nicked or damaged by a stove burner, etc. You'll find all Kuhn Rikon gaskets on this page. Another crucial part that requires periodic replacement is the UL/SI valve. You don't need to replace it until it starts losing pressure, but once it does, performance will go downhill fast. For this reason, we recommend replacing the UL/SI valve at least every 3-4 years. You'll find the Kuhn Rikon UL/SI valve here.

Tremendously pleased to find the item I needed. The detailed explanation of the product and accompanying video on replacing the part made this my happiest shopping experience in a long time. Thank you Pleasant Hill Grain.
I love that Pleasant Hill Grain offers replacement parts for my pressure cooker. The valve fit my 3.5L anniversary edition Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker perfectly and was very simple to install. There is a video online from Kuhn Rikon (on YouTube) explaining repair and maintenance that was very easy to follow along with. I also replaced the UL/SI valve at the same time and replaced the gasket. After changing out the valves, and gasket, I did a test run with 1 cup of water brought to pressure, and then allowed to naturally release. My pressure cooker came to pressure faster and held pressure at a lower burner setting than it has in a while. It’s like a whole new pressure cooker!
I’m so grateful to Pleasant Hill Grain for maintaining excellent stock, always available when I need to replace parts on my Kuhn-Rikon Pressure cooker now over 31 years of service in my kitchen. This Swiss product line is such a superior design, safety engineered and easily maintained with reliable manufacturer produced parts. I’ve bought Kuhn-Rikon for each of my adult children so they can enjoy the versatility of pressure cooking, with this superior innovation in cooking.
A great place for purchasing parts for Kuhn Rikon even though I have a European model not sold in the USA. Helpful sales staff since my pressure cooker is 15 years old. Excellent service.
My two Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers are used very regularly and I have had them for many years because thankfully, Pleasant Hill Grain carry a wide range of spare parts. Someone mentioned that the parts were expensive, but I certainly think that the cost is justified for genuine parts and am very happy that I can keep using my cookers for many more years to come because I was able to get these parts.
Our faithful old pressure cooker wasn’t able to create enough pressure to cook our artichokes. We fiddled with the valve, we got a new gasket and finally turned to Pleasant Hill Grain to send us a replacement. We feared the part wouldn’t be available. The representative was pleasant and efficient. In no time at all he found the part and arranged to send it to us right away.
There was a video on their website that showed us how to replace the valve. It worked! Now our pressure cooker is working again and we don’t have to purchase a new, expensive new pressure cooker.
We are very appreciative for the good service we received.
The replacement parts work well but are extremely expensive for just a few small parts
Great price and service!
Service that all companies should strive for!
I was looking for some replacement parts for our pressure cooker. I was concerned about availability because of the age of the cooker and also about compatibility, i. e. , generic replacements. I found precisely what I was looking in Pleasant Hill Grain's website. Full descriptions of specifications; helpful hints for installation; and no concerns about compatibility. The items were delivered as promised. All the parts were installed without problems. Our pressure cooker is working again.
