nzralphy Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Er... are they the correct size... you'll be amazed how many different sized orings there are. Try warming the ctr section and subsequently the orings... warm orings tend to soften a little and mah help you to fit the pipe. FWIW... Always fit Viton high temp orings - they don't melt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
