rulloyd Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hi all. Just checking. Reinstalling the T-piece and I can't remember if it had sealing washers on any of the treaded connections? None on it now. Can someone enlighten me please? Many thanks Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 The one into the block is a taper thread, no washer needed. The one for the hose/pipe is less clear - there may be a small fibre washer inside the nut, or the pipe may have a flared end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The takeoff pipe to the pressure gauge must have a small fibre washer inside the nut, around the pipe end. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
