smallreef April 27, 2014 Share April 27, 2014 Got my CS-1 box last week... All pieces were inside and intact Started working on it tonight and noticed a few things, I emailed about the O-ring but figured I should attach pictures and its easier here... But then we got to the gate valve and noticed if I tried to close it, it won't completely stop the flow Don't know if that's a necessity but just incase wanted to make sure before we glue.... Thanks!

dandy7200 April 28, 2014 Share April 28, 2014 Hi Kim, I answered your email about the o-ring. For the gate valve, there is really no reason you would ever have the valve completely closed, it is designed so it can be completely open since there is only so much room in that fitting.

smallreef April 28, 2014 Author Share April 28, 2014 okay, thanks dan... and im afraid that o-ring isnt going to work, that is the groove its supposed to be in when the other piece is glued ontop... thats why we stopped and took the picture because there is no way it will sit flat or fit inbetween the 2 pieces its just way to big for some reason?

smallreef April 28, 2014 Author Share April 28, 2014 i am thinking this o-ring may be for a cs3? when i place it around the skimmer body it goes down over an inch from the top... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandy7200 April 28, 2014 Share April 28, 2014 Once you glue the other part in, it will fit. Promise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
