petcock question

#1 Post by trix » Tue Aug 08, 2017 7:22 pm

I was checking to see if the petcock outlet can be twisted around and it just came out. There's a groove on the spigot but no o-ring. Is there supposed to be a seal on this? The vacuum pipe pulled out easily also. Should they come out this easily?

Same situation on mine, no seal, only pressed in.

I will glue it in with some etal glue (Loctite... need to check which one I need)
