24 agp return leak

[cvoytek]

I just went and got a new return. Bummed I have to drain below the return but oh well. Will post if it works.

It looks like there are gaskets on the part I insert pool side as well as the side with the nut as well as the cork piece. Does anyone know if the cork piece goes on the outside or inside of the pool? It was on the outside So I guess I'll do it the same. Just wondering if they installed it wrong last August.

cork on the outside, rubber on the inside...

Thanks poolbuoy! I tested the repair this morning. The new return is sealed but one of the elbows has a slow drip. I can isolate it and re teflon tape/silicone it I think. I just hope I don't break any seals on the return again.
