o-ring for 510 tips??

[hubseven]

Anybody know the size of o-ring for 510 drip tips? Is their such a thing as a standard size? Thanks.

I think it is 34. For some reason that # is sticking in my mind but I am not sure. If I am wrong then I guess someone will be along to set it right, then I will know the answer too.

I think my CV Pawn DT's use #47 which may be the same as the one used in the cap of the Reo Mini. But DTs differ in what is needed. If you can get to a hardware store you can take the DT in and try different sizes.

How do you take off the oring without damaging or cutting it.. I want to know..... I've tried to wash my driptips without Oring but this really is a hard work... Any suggestion??

Try using a pin, needle, or a dental tool if you have one.

Isn't using a pin or needle going to damage the oring? I'm kind of scareddd lol..

I suppose you could go down to Lowes or a Home Depot and get yourself a couple spare o-rings before you try it.

Edit: I just did it by rolling my thumb and index finger toward each other around circumference of the drip tip where the o-ring is (kinda of like if you were pinching the o-ring from opposite ends). It creates enough slack to where you can roll it off with your other index finger. Hope that makes sense.

Thanx Bowtie, I'll go get some o-rings and then try what you've suggested!!
