[kevin]

Hi guys,

i was at a job today to replace a plate to plate thermistor and a non return cartridge, thought easy job done in no time lol
anyway puts the new plate to plate in new o'rings the job done start to run the water through it and gush, first time ever this has happened to me, I mean sometimes you get a drip then it's just a little tighten of the screw job done, but I had this off 5-6 times changed o'rings still same outcome.....leak at the pump side and thinking this might be a manifold prob have any you guys came across this?

cheeers

Not come across it, did you try the original o rings again, were the ones supplied the correct size?

Ah I know the feeling I had an ecotec exp pipe from exp vessel leaked when I refited it six times in and out finally managed to get it to seal .

I worked on a Linea 28 a few weeks ago and bits of grit and cr@p were seating on the brass manifold so the O rings would not seal. Just cleaned everything up small smear of Jet Blue and job done, access is really tight though!

Is it the wrong way round? as ive done that before.

I think it can only go one way from memory.

I think it can only go one way from memory.

I think they will go in both ways round but wont seal properly.

Done it all guys double checked the right and wrong way round, I always clean the seatings of anything I take off, it's a mind bender when I go back tomorrow I will just take the manifold off and check what's what brass manifold tho mmmm I have been going over the job in my nut and can't see I have done anything diff I would have done every time crazy.

I've just had a look at the MI's and you're right it looks like it could go in either way but has an arrow indicating the correct direction. Could cause the leak I suppose?

Make sure right way round. Plenty silicone grease on seals, tighten up screws uniformly. Never had a prob with these and done a few.

arrows nothing to go by had loads of phexs with the sticker on wrong way round

Thanks guys for the input turned out sometimes you ain't as good as you think lol turned out the manifold had just moved off centre with me loosening one of the nuts sometimes it takes a step back and not pulling the hair out 😉
