Title: Fit petcock stud on to diaphragm Post by: Knapdog on December 16, 2021, 06:04:07 AM I can't delete this thread but I have now fitted A on to B with perseverance. Apologies. Has anyone found an easy way of fitting the metal stud "A" on to parts "B" and "C", as it's, quite simply, beaten me.

A little dab of Armor-All is my go-to. Title: Re: Fit petcock stud on to diaphragm Post by: hubcapsc on December 16, 2021, 07:31:43 AM I've used wd-40 or alcohol as a lubricant before. I've seen them put back together wrongly too... The flaps or diaphragms are fragile too, it would be easy to damage one while struggling to reassemble the petcock... There's some good pictures floating around on this site that show all the proper orientations. I made this a long time ago... (https://hubcapsc.com/misc/flap.jpg) -Mike |
