I recently replaced that 1" gasket under the Cap, but I'm sure the unit is older than 5 years. The instructions on the replacement gasket say I should replace the whole unit. Has anyone seen a catastrophic failure because it was just older than 5 years?

if fluidmaster products were any cheaper they would be paying you to use them. open up your pockbook & replace the whole thing. the labor is the same , get a grip.0 -

that is whet is encouraged. If the washer replacement works, go for it. They sell more complete units if they recommend replacing the whole valve. It means more $$$$0
