Laurentis Astoria JUN rebuild HX

I have cleaned all components including the Parker two-way and three-way valves. I would like to replace the o-rings which mount between the pilot tube and the flange end. I don't see these listed on any of the "parts" websites. Does anyone know what size these are so I can get a couple?

Laurentis Astoria JUN rebuild HX

**I am considering the FOT route but wanted to forego the adapters. Did you get the integral strainer? How long did it take to get?

**Yes it is a high flow pump. Why? I don't know, but it is the original one from the MFG and is the current specified pump in the parts list

Laurentis Astoria JUN rebuild HX

Laurentis Astoria JUN rebuild HX

Well, I called GEEC and spoke to a very nice tech there. Steve knew immediatedy what I was referring to and told me to mount the gasket between the boiler and the HX. Cinch down on the brass washer outside. I did this and it felt good, now to wait for finishing up and watch for the sprays.

Laurentis Astoria JUN rebuild HX

I have started the reassembly of the JUN. When I disassembled the HX from the boiler, prior to descaling, I noticed the HX tube gaskets were mounted on the inside of the boiler (immediately adjacent to the HX), with the brass washers and nuts of course on the outside. Is this the proper orientation ...

Gicar Flowmeter

I have a Laurentis JUN SME/1N JUN which I am disassembling to rebuild to working condition. The 1/4" GICAR flowmeter top piece is bulged out and the potting material is pushed up as well. This looks to me like it had froze at one time. I never ran this machine but am rebuilding it. The HX and boiler...
