O-ring clarification

[thewomenfolk]

I went to both Lowe's and Home Depot and neither had a size 36 or 47 O-ring. Lowe's had a very small one, but not small enough, and they had nothing close to being called 36 or 47.

Home Depot had a Size 5 which looks the same diameter as the one on my 510 tip, but not thinner. I think what I need is one of the same diameter but with a thinner rubber, so it won't fit so tight on the atty.

I have (6) 510 tips and (2) 801 tips and some I've bought for others. I'd like to have that many and more should I need them later or for more tips. I would welcome the opportunity to buy them from you and certainly to pay for the shipping if that's possible. If it's possible, how many I could buy?

Almost forgot....what's the best way to get the O-ring off a metal tip?

the #5 oring you saw fits the 801 ttip, but is too big for the 510/901 Ttip.

Shoot me your name and address in a PM and i can get you out some spares. Normally Lowes and Home depot has the #47's, but it could be different in your region what they carrry or they could be out.

Also, just a reminder to everyone, when putting on Ttips, twist them when inserting them, don't just push them straight in. Also, i recommend pulling them off every night and washing them. If you leave them in there for several days, they can get stuck so pull 'em off every night and clean them up

Best way to take off is with a toothpick. Gently push it behind the o-ring and slide it off.

I never had any problems with mine getting stuck with joye510.
I always take mine off so my attys can drain though.

I can't seem to find the o-rings either but I'll be alright.

if the o-ring ever breaks I'll try and find one in the garage.
we're the mr. fix it kind of people here. lol
