How long must the stub-out be to work with this product? My copper stub is short & was just short of sealing in the O-ring.

Are you sure you have the spout in this picture? It has an adapter that can be screwed on if the stub out is ips (threaded) and less than one inch long, or soldered on if the copper is at least two & a half inches long. If the copper is too short,a copper male thread adapter must be welded on close to the wall. Once installed, this is one of the most reliable spouts you can buy, and it always defaults to 'spout' function when turned off, - no cold shower surprise when turning on the tap.

There is enough length. You only use one of the nuts. The the nut between the valve and the outside of the cooler is the one you don't use. The nut and washer on the inside creates the seal. I believe this was mentioned by someone in the comments. When i first got this. I thought it wasn't going to work, but it does, just need to eliminate that extra part and you'll have enough room.

I don't know what you might have laying around, but the 5/16ths inch tubing I use on my other brew equipment seemed to work fine. Might need to heat shrink it a bit to get a tight seal.

Well, surface mounting might be a problem because the rails and magnet extend below the plastic flange (somewhat visible in the second photo). Plus, there are four blobs of solder where the wires are hooked up. But my caliper says the magnet/rail combo is .752 inch deep (19.1mm), total. The bottom of the plastic housing flange is .69 inch (17.53mm) from the apex of the curve on the rail. The flange is .134 inch thick (3.4mm). Hope this helps.

Closing the port will not solve the problem. The box dimensions are different and a sealed closure should be between 1.2-1.5 cu ft. Also I doubt you will have a proper seal on the box. Any air escape will change the sound. I've been very impressed with the set up but that's MHO.

Mike: silly question, but did you give the filter an extra push, plus push in the top rubber gasket some more to expose the thread? If this fails then the filter is too long. In that case I would be making an extended threaded mounting post. Or a special nut with a reduced diameter that will go inside the filter and catch the thread. My 10 gallon Craftsman has a 7/16 NC thread. I have the capability at home to manufacture these fixes, but if you do not I am at a loss for other solutions. Hoe about a recessed cup with a flange, then cut a bigger hole in the filter rubber and use a 7/16 nut inside the cup.

O-ring? Or you tightened up the valve too much and the threads got stripped. I'd ask the inventor of the paintball adapter set up

most gets applied to the o rings....use a very little bit on the metal shaft to help move that shaft seal into place. this is a great seal replacement for the price and solved all my issues....good luck on yours

It worked find for all the things I used it on. Are you sure your tank was full enough to put the presure out? Hope you figure it out. Smiles, ~Smitty~

My o-ring leaked at first, and my dad jut kept taking it off and putting it back on and tightened it until it quit leaking. I thing what happened is that it wasn't going o the threads correctly. I hope this help you!!! Be blessed!!!

It will work if you dont blow out the jack seals first. Mine lasted less then 3 days, but the cost of shipping such a heavy item back wasnt worth the trouble. Its still sitting in my shed. Good luck!

Hi, I purchased 2 of these, the brass being a big factor vs. stainless. Mine too were "stuck" together - and I separated the screw top from the flame regulator as follows: unscrew the cover and the "stuck" regulator as one piece. Then, by lifting the wire "handle", slide the regulator to the side (open position), place the soon-to-be 2 piece assembly on the floor, (concrete garage floor here), and tap the screw cap, which is now exposed after "opening" the flame regulator to the side, with a large round socket - i used a 15/16" spark plug socket. Voila! Once separated they work great. In my opinion this isn't a "lemon" - it's perfect machining and assembly which fit together with almost .005" precision. Hope that helped. As I mentioned, I bought 2 of these and had to separate both of them that way.

Contact Britta. Google for their phone or web site. They are decent folks and send immediate replacements. When you insert into ground make sure ground I very wet. And push down so an inch of the metal tube is underground. EMAIL Service@SolarStrings.com. I don't own their stock. They are decent folks. And you have to get a kick out of their web site. It is funny. And then they get you the parts. This is the way things should be. Service@SolarStrings.com

I was able to remedy the problem by flipping the gasket over. The rounded side should go toward the filter. Unfortunately Culligan customer service hasn't been able to figure this one out and has been telling their customers to remove this very necessary gasket altogether. Unfortunately I was not able to remedy the situation where the filter compartment leaks after trying to change the filter just one time. I'm glad I tested removal and replacement of the filter right away to make sure I would have room to do so after installation rather than to wait 3 months to find out that once you open it, it will likely leak after.

You should contact the manufacturer. I am just using a sealing clip at the moment.

I duct taped mine to a socket, then used an extension. I dont remember the size of the socket, and i also filled the grooves of the tap with bearing grease to catch all the shavings. It was my friends truck and its still running.

Forgot to inform you can reuse the same o-ring. Inspect for damage. Plan your job and Start to finish at most should take 25 min. If your taking longer than that your doing something wrong.
