you should be able to buy a new spring and replace it

Yep buy a new tial spring and you should be fine.

That's not a Tial gate, it is a knock-off. You will need to take it apart to see if it uses a spring slimlar to a Tial before buying a Tial. Whoever you bought it from should have different springs

I've found that a lot of the knockoffs use a tial spring
but yes take it apart to examine it to be sure

Yes check the length of the spring but the best way to measure would be to measure the inside of the cover and the depth of the seat where the spring sets if you have that i can measure a Tial and make sure its the same or not.

And be SURE you pressure test it before you install it to make sure you didnt pinch the diaphragm.

u mean with a vacuum pump ??

Yes or you can put air to the top and bottom ports on the gate with a compressor and see if it leaks thats the only failure i have ever seen on the knock offs is when someone takes it apart and they put it back together they pinched the diaphragm in it and it boosted to the moon they kept blaming the gate being a knock off and it was because the didnt pay attention to what they was doing when they put it back together.


And remember they are about 1000 of these knock off's floating around some look alike but they are made from about 1000 different manufactures so always inspect it real good before you go bolting it on if you use one of these , make sure everything is in working order and NO LEAKS.

Be careful in reassembly, don't damage anything inside.
