Question about return gaskets

[hrsdennis]

Hi John, you do in fact need two rubber and one paper. The rubber ones seal and the paper one allows the outer nut to tighten without binding on the rubber one. Order, inside piece with one rubber gasket, insert through precut opening, second rubber gasket on outside next to wall, paper and then nut.

Hope that helps, Dennis

Thanks Dennis.I'll check with my local pool supply store to get the rubber gasket I need.

Many manufacturers also use cork gaskets, so if that's all you can get, then just replace your single rubber gasket with a cork one so you're using cork all around (still use the paper one too - same reason as above), just don't mix rubber with cork since they have different properties and will compress differently.
