Title: O ring removal
Post by: W.booler on December 09, 2016, 09:53:07 am
Hi guys. I need to remove a couple of o rings from a univalve without damaging it. I saw a YouTube link on here a few months showing how to remove them, but I can't find it. Does anyone know of it. Thanks in advance  :)

If its leaking send it back to Steve under warranty. They are all still under warranty if they are less than a year old. (I think they are all less than a year old still.)

That O ring is a non standard size and not available off the shelf when I last did a search.

I'm aware that people using wfp's with a univalve fitted run all sorts of chems through them now.
So my question is would it still be changed over under warranty if chems like sh might have damaged it?

@Steve are the o' rings used in the univalve chemical resistant or not? ::)roll

If you're talking about removing the 'O' clips that hold the hose to the Univalve, then I remove mine with a small Dremel type tool with a cutting disc.
You can cut them off with the 'O' clip pliers but I wouldn't recommend it with the Univalve as they are plastic and would likely be damaged.

I'll probably cut of a bit of hose on either sid and return it that way. I'm sure Steve at exceed will be able to remove them.. thank you..
