Title: Manabloc Repair
Post by: genehorr on July 23, 2023, 04:30:06 pm
The Manabloc manifold has a very tiny leak (one drop every 5-6 seconds.)  I can't see where it is coming from.  Is it worth changing out the gaskets or do most people just install a new one?

If repair is an option, what is the part number?  I tried searching but couldn't find it the site.

For buying a new one, do people replace all the hose fittings or just attach the existing hoses?  If using the old ones do those use a gasket/washer?

A new one doesn't look too bad in terms of cost but the existing lines don't have too much slack which means splicing into existing lines which is raising the PITA factor.

If it is the cone washer the part number for those are Zern # QSETFC.  At times you can find them in bags of 50  for $8 to 10
