Now to breath new 'light' onto this thread lol
My question is related.I ahv a pitless adapter thats leaking.Ive pulled ut up and the 'o' ring is in the opening as should be but Im sure to remove it id mess the ring up.So I decided to replace the whole adapter.they are reasonably priced.
Problem is to get the adapter on again id have to have wiggl room on the inlet line in the ground. Ive excavated all around it and removed some good size rocks.But its still awfully tight...My thoughts now are to hope that the new adapter is the same and just replace the inside 'drop' part of it. After looking online I fould where a few people have spoke of replacing or cleaning the ring.
Im wondering if anyone has cleaned the o ring or replaces with just the inside part?Because replacing the whole unit is going to be a very hard job.Mine is just over 25 years old.
Ill post a couple pics I found and wonder if theis o ring is a common one or not.
Thanks
