Due to the variety of chair models, gas cylinders, and bases, we guarantee a compatible fit for your selected chair. However, the seat height adjustment range may differ slightly from your current cylinder.
What Size Cylinder Should I Choose?
What Size Cylinder Should I Choose?
We recommend a standard height gas cylinder for most chairs used with a standard desk height.
For standing desks or elevated surfaces, an extended (tall) gas cylinder is suggested.
A stool kit, which includes a foot ring, can be added to the extended height gas cylinder for extra comfort when sitting in a raised position.
How Do I Install My Casters?
How Do I Install My Casters?
We recommend using a pipe wrench (the larger, the better) to remove the current gas cylinder from your chair. Once it's removed, the new cylinder can be easily installed.
Please note that chairs with top-activated mechanisms may have set screws that need to be adjusted for proper cylinder function.
For side-activated cylinders, you may need to either attach a cable to the cylinder or ensure the lever is aligned correctly. However, our newly designed cone cylinder for the V2 Leap chair installs without any special instructions.
