  • 79 Special - Petcock Kits?

    I searched the forums and found a bunch of threads on the subject, but ....

    I look at all of the parts places and see kits for the Standards. I know what should come in those kits because I have an 80g.

    I see kits for the 79 special but I'm not sure they come with everything. I suppose I need a square diaphragm thingy for the octopus, two 5-hole rubber washers, 2 rubber o-rings that fit around the handle assemblies... Is there an o-ring that fits between the tank and petcock that comes in these kits? I'm not sure what the big o-ring is for...

    Kit#5100 looks like the one I used on my '81 Special. The big O-rings are to use between the petcocks and the tank.

      I ordered the kit. We'll see how it works. If it works great I may just rebuild the valves on my 80g.
