solenoid o-ring size?

njdivr · 4th May 2008, 13:39

Does anyone know the exact size o-ring that is used on the solenoid fittings of the Vision head? I had a small stream of bubbles coming from under the solenoid lock-not fitting on the outside of the head. Tightening the nut made the bleed worse. When I disassembled the fitting I found two o-rings that appeared to be a standard #022 o-rings; those for a piston in a regulator. However, when I swapped the originals out with the 022s the head bleeds like a free-flowing regulator when pressurized. I'd really like to not have to send the head back for service and loose the use of the unit, so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to have to go back to...

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.

The o-ring size is correct so maybe it's not the cause of the leak, a hairline crack would be something I'd check for.
