What O-Rings are needed here???

[Shifty]

My friend took his pipe appart to check out and found the O-rings cracked/brittle/non-existant. Can you tell what pipe this is from the pictures? He is not sure what brand the pipe is as he bought it used.

What parts are required to put it back together and where can they be purchased, maybe Mcmaster-Carr???


Thanks,

Looks like a Riva wetpipe, no idea what model.

He thinks its a Type 9 Dry Pipe??? I dont know my pipes, I have only had one and its a B-Pipe. I told him to take a picture of the entire thing it woud be easier to recognize.

Definitely not a Type 9 dry.

Thats it... you can see part of the bracket in one of the photo's. So that is a Riva Spec 1 ? Is that a wet pipe?

I figured you guys would have a good source for O-rings, but it looks as if its not a very popular pipe.

Yes as said before it is a wet pipe. Your best bet is to measure them and buy some from McMaster or call Riva they may still have some in stock.

From memory, 3"x 1/4", go to a hydralics shop.

Yeah, I know you said it was a wet pipe, its just he was all hell bent on it being a dry pipe. I have been wanting a chance to make fun of his ski... He thinks its quicker than mine... it might be but its only because his is lightly ported.

I bought a dial caliper the other day so I now have a legit reason to use it, I hope he sill has some O-ring left to measure. On the O-rings should he just buy the Viton type?

Thanks for the ongoing help ,

Looks like my type 4, Viton will last the longest but I have used buna with no problems.

Measure the ring gland on the pipe. Then purchase a lifetime supply from McMaster.
