I'm on the same quest. Did the 20 x 2 o-rings work? Thanks.

In this case see what happens when the oring isn't stretched into the groove
when it's the same size as the groove

It is a problem to measure O ring ? WTF ?
Even it is possible to not to measure O ring and measure ID of Oring bed and OD of housing and then get right size from standard tables LOL

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha well don't you have absolutely no F clue
With an oring the same size as the groove it will get pulled out, become displaced as you twist the torch head on

1.If the O ring is the same size as the groove IT WILL NEVER EVER SEAL !!!
2.in that case it COULD NEVER BE PULLED OUT ( simple because O ring in that case is never in contact with other housing ... is that not clear? LOL)
3. it could be PULLED OUT can be in case:
- that thickness of O-ring itself is smaller than groove & same time ID of ring is bigger than ID of groove.
- tired material-rubber ( wrong material choose ) I use EPDM
are you member of MAGA ;-))))
