Hayward Threaded Union Stle Fittings Assembly?

[Groo]

The new pump came with a couple of threaded union style fittings.

they just through the part in a bag, and I cant get the rubber o-ring style gasket were it needs to go for the life of me.

any tricks?

teflon based lubricant. "blue tube"

which pump? Is the gasket a round o-ring or a T-shaped gasket? If the gasket appears to be the wrong size, it's possible taht the wrong o-ring may have been packaged, but it's pretty rare.

well, I'm an idiot. the gasket fits on a grove on the pump I didn't see at the time. The lack of instalation instruction didn't help. I did of course figure that out after I used vegtable oil to get the gaskets smashed inbeteween the the 2 pieces. Luckily the gaskets weren't harmed.
