EliTR6 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hi all, Where can I order Viton seals from (and what size is the correct one)? How many different types of injectors are there? Are they interchangeable and is one type better than the other? I don't know whether mine are push or screw in. Was going to have a look tonight weather-permitting but am going to be home very late. Grrrr.... Thanks! Eli Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was going to have a look tonight weather-permitting but am going to be home very late. Grrrr.... There are 3 types of in injector; one has a crimped end & cannot be dismantled for servicing; probably not many of these left now. The other 2 types have a circlip holding the poppet valve in the injector body & can be dismantled & there are 2 different types of these; one with a pip & one without a pip. The one with the pip is easier to bleed as you can pull the poppet valve off its seat with your finger nails, can’t do that with the other one, otherwise no difference in operation. The injector has a nylon collar which has an external O ring & there a re 2 types of these; one screws onto the injector & the other is pushes on; both types of collar push into the induct manifold & are held in place with a keep plate. Size of the injector O rings is: O/D = 5/16” I/D = 3/16” Here’s a site but Google will bring up many: http://www.altecweb.com/home.asp?cat=Subcategory8110 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Moltu Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Presumably they are 1/16 cross section? Going off at a tangent (but o ring related) does anyone know which size are the o rings fitted to garden hose connectors (hozelock type?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Crawley Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Presumably they are 1/16 cross section? Yes; Can't help with the Hozelock one though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Warrington Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hozelok adaptor removed from garden hose for measuring... O ring very reluctant to come off, so measured in situ. It looks metric, but nearest imperial size would be 5/8th x 1/8th. Not entirely sure it is the right material, though - although if it turns out that the stuff that comes out of my hose is unleaded, I shall be mightly pleased. Having re-read the last few words, I think I might have left myself open to misinterpretation here Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now that's some mark up! Edited May 1, 2008 by Richard Crawley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
