[markT]

FX Streamline .177 / Sat for months and months leaked out all air / tried to fill and air leaking from vent hole in tank.
Ordered new orings

FX parts list the pressure regulator as one part number.
Does anyone know the size of the O-rings on the brass part of the pressure regulator?

Anyone? Lots of views, no replies... No one else experienced this issue?

This would be a good reason to buy a huma. (Damn auto correct)

Go to fx’s website and download their parts diagram. It’s in the support section. All o ring sizes are listed.

If by chance it’s not given(and I have yet to see that), email FXUSA and send them this pic along with your guns serial number. Many ways to get o ring sizes from FX

@Bigragu in the original post it reads "FX parts list the pressure regulator as one part number." The O-rings are NOT listed individually. I sent FX an email on Sunday and apparently they were closed on Monday, July 3. RBR is always a good policy...

I’m sure FX will supply the info rather quickly. I usually have quick service when calling too. Usually try to call right about 9 am est when they open.

Ahhh, I stand corrected then- I apologize. You should be able to get an answer today, hopefully.

Just got a size for you from Newman, head fx tech, but he highly recommends contacting fx USA tomorrow.

I texted Newman and here’s his reply-

I sent him your exact photo you posted on your thread showing the reg

Ernest Rowe confirms the above sizes at about 5:30 in.

Contacted FX on Thursday.. Loooong wait as I called at 9:00 am.. Anyway going to send rifle to FX for reseal $125. I wouldn't normally do this but I totally screwed up the regulator by screwing in the knurled brass park way too deep and I cant get it back out. FX said they were going to send me an email with shipping info etc but haven't received anything as of today. I almost want to order a HUMA regulator set at 120 bar but the order website ( HUMA) doesnt provide a place to give instructions that I can find,, Suggestions?

@Privateer: Excellent sir, thank you!! Perfect!!
After watching the video I was able to remove the threaded part and disassemble the regulator.. I have decided to rebuild it myself. Ordered the orings this morning ( Oringsandmore.com)

After thinking about this and NOT receiving anything ( email) from FX USA service.( Ben I think) as he said I would. I ordered a HUMA from Utah Airguns.. Waiting in delivery.. Kinda strange that FX didn't send information (shipping) as they said they would.. yes, I check SPAM etc and No I didn't call them back...

Huma arrived a day early form UA. Well done UA!. I installed it backwards. ( yep dumb a$$) Watched video and flipped it around. Leaking out vent hole. Called UA got disconnected. They called me right back.. HECK YES UA!! Told technician what I had done he said should be good to go. I told him leaking form vent hole. After a few questions the Streamline in .177 does not use the spacer. I need ~4.0 mm to make the holes line up. Pota-Ban and lots of filing I made a ~4.mm spacer from the spacer they shipped. Set the HUMA at 120 and she stacking 13.43 Monsters Diabolos at 31 yards... What a journey.. Hats off to UA!!!
