Description
I have Marimex BlackStar6 pool filtration several years and I noticed that 6-way valve/container seal (no. 9 on the image) is crushed and I have to tighten the collar almost to the stop. I wanted to buy new seal, but I found none with this diameter (148mm inner) and thickness (12mm). So I made it my way. I also found mandreal seal (no. 8 on the image) cut, but shops were already closed that day, so I made it too.
Valve seal:
Mandrel seal:
The valve/container seal has flat surface with circular channels - they should face up against flat surface of the valve when assembled. Rounded part should face down against skewed surface of the container.
The mandrel seal is symmetric.
