• As stated above you need a small O ring which doesn't come with espares part (although espares claim it comes woth all seals). I found that when I connected up to the low pressure hose the outlet connection leaked slightly so I wasn't hopeful. However when I switched on the pump the leak got worse for a second then it stopped suddenly - I assume the pressure seated the O ring properly. The sealing method is quite confusing - the outlet connection has an internal tube with an external O ring which looks like it should seal to the inner surface of the pump outlet. However it as actually much too small to do this - presumably it's for use with a different model. Incidently the pressure hose will seal directly to the pump outlet (without using the elbow) and it seals using this type of external O ring. It seems Karchner use some universal parts that seal in different ways on different models. By DavidB - - 26 April 2011
• Hi Bob, You need the small 'O' ring which is about the same size as the one on a male garden hose connector. It just sits on the inner pipe. The screw fitting is not actually used with this connector and (I think) was or is for a different machine using the same pump. The big orange DIY store does a pack of 'O' rings in the plumbing section for about £1.99. The one you need is in there - so is the larger one for the Inlet (clear plastic) pipe. That one sits in a groove and is easy to see! Best of luck, CJ By CockneyJock - Trowbridge, Wiltshire - 08 June 2010
• The O ring fits inside the female connection of the pump so that it buts up to the elbow outlet fitting. By slopekeys - penkridge - 01 June 2010
