Connecting Colt Cylinder to Kaplan vaccum pump

I ordered a colt cylinder, because the Kaplan one I got with my pump was too small. On the web site, they said that the Colt cylinder would fit Kaplan vacuum pump. In fact, it does fit if I remove the tiny black little rubber circle that is around the tip of the hose. But, it seems to be the sealing part the hose and the top of the cylinder (the part that clicks).

Does anyone have an idea how I could seal the Colt cylinder in order to be able to use it with my Kaplan vacuum pump?????

Thanks,

John

Haven't used a Colt before.

It sounds like you might be having a vacuum leak problem. I know for Kaplan cylinders, the gasket on the make connector is used to maintain a seal while the valve is open.

If you are having a sealing issue then the solution is to re-install a new o-ring back onto the male connector.

If you have the old o-ring, take it to your local hardware store. Browse the isle that have the o-rings (usually unpackaged).

Select an o-ring that is skinnier than the old one. I did this once to fix a sealing problem on my Kaplan hose. I was forced to choose an o-ring that was too skinny -- but it worked anyway. If it fit the Kaplan cylinder and kept a good seal, it should mate just fine with your Colt's female connector, which I'm assuming is a bit skinnier than Kaplans.

What we are going for here is to have the new-o-ring fit snuggly on the male connector. But unlike the old o-ring, the new o-ring must not stick out AS MUCH when installed on the male connector.

Let us know how it turned out!

Pringles,

I had this same issue. I removed the quick connect valve from the top of my Kaplan cylinder and screwed it in the Colt cylinder. The hole on the Colt seemed to be a tiny bit larger than on the Kaplan so I couldn't screw it in tightly. I resolved this by wrapping the threads of the quick connect valve with a pipe thread sealant tape and this worked perfectly. You can purchase the sealant tape at any hardware store. Don't be afraid to use a good amount of tape, you can always remove it and rewrap if you used too much. Strange thing is that I had another Colt tube that I didn't have to do this, so you may not have to. I hope this helps. Let us know if you found another solution.
