Place diverter nozzle o ring

« **on:** May 26, 2014, 08:26:26 PM »

I ordered a rebuild kit from place diverter but it seems I got the wrong o ring. My diverter has a small groove and a large diameter Teflon o ring is what I have and it doesn't come close to stretching onto the housing. Is there more than one style? Didn't give any options when ordering on place diverter website.

That looks right. You don’t want to stretch or distort the O-ring. Simply start it in the groove at one point and slide it over and into the groove, working it with both hands in both directions. It will take a slight amount of force to get the last little bit on.

This o ring just seems too big. It doesn't even get close to coming down into the snoot. The pins are off by a lot, what do I do here? I feel like there is a different o ring that's supposed to go in my place diverter but I can't find anything.

What do the guys a Place say...
I know Berkley made 2 different ones (a thick and thin one) but I would go straight to Place with the issue.

You are indeed correct, there two O-Rings. One with a .210 cross section (which it appears that you have) and one with a .138 cross section. Sorry that I missed that.

I want to say that smaller one really needs to pushed down into the groove as well.

That's not causing you ANY vibration....
The ones in the impeller are the ones probably doing some damage though.

That will cause a pretty good vibration at all RPMs but the rocks had to pass through something moving....

Wish I had a picture of the one we had several years ago, we had a baseball sized rock come right out the side of the bowl. Broke the impeller clean in half. Expensive weekend.

Yes, chances are the seals are already toast though. I replace them every time they are visible.

Betting the impeller is broken/cracked, not rock impregnated..

OK the impeller is fine but your right gt there was no oil left in the bowl and I checked it a couple of trips out so the seals shot , I can't feel any play in the shaft and there was no rocks in the impeller or cracks.

Have you checked the other side?, that is the wimpy side. JMHO, looks as though you may have lucked out.

What's the other side the bearing or the entrance to the impeller, the impeller is clear I crawled under and looked through the intake grate
