Looks like I lucked out for I have the aluminum petcocks with the
locking ring; never knew that there were more than one type. But long
term use will determine if they'll work out or not - I'll report back in
every so often on them. I did keep the original gaskets just in case
the new ones don't work out as expected. I wonder what the original
gaskets were made out of? Viton would seem to be the material of choice
but maybe it can't standup to the abrasion.

| Indeed, mine did not last too long. I installed them in the steel petcocks that do not lock into position. I just bought a set of used aluminum petcocks (the locking kind) from some guy on e-Bay. I like them a lot better than the steel ones. I'll try and remember to take the old petcocks apart and see what happened. Cheers, Dave "R.P. Mahnke" wrote:
