Before anyone jumps me about contacting COV directly, I have sent them an email about this, but I
never received a response to an email on a previous question, so I am posting the problem here as well.
I have a serious problem with the Siam SS caps and the glass tubes.
Previously I ordered the std cobalt glass tube and the xl clear glass tube to see if some caps I had would fit.
They didn't, so I bought one set of these ss caps. They are way too tight on the carto while being way too loose
in the tube. Seriously, I think if I held the cap and jiggled the tube a little it would fall off just from the weight of
the tube alone. This combination made it difficult to assemble and fill the unit. If I didn't use equal pressure on
both caps while trying to slide down the carto, the tube and caps would try to separate. tanks are usually a little
"slidey" after filling and stick a little tighter after setting for a while. These caps where so tight to begin with, that
now I can't get them off to refill the tank. I think I am going to have to resort to a hammer just to get the carto
back out.
I think there used to be a set of tighter o-rings offered for these caps at one time because people complained the caps
where too loose on the carto. My problem is, I need looser inner o-rings and tighter outer o-rings. Has anyone else
had this problem? Was it resolved? I looked through the first couple pages of posts in here, but most of them are
about the GG.
