Occasionally one will leak <br clear="none">due to lack of seating the seal. The issue is inadewuate space at <br clear="none">the shoulder of the hex fitting with the screw-on thread.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">For many years Moss has refused to acknowledge the problem and will <br clear="none">not fix it. Each individual customer is then stuck with figuring it <br clear="none">out and having to do a field mod to make it serviceable. It is best <br clear="none">to modify the part before installation or do not install it at <br clear="none">all.
