GX CS-4....... Lost check valve ball

[SilentSquirrel]

Hello members

I have managed to lose the ball that is in the check valve of the CS-4
So, when the chuckling stops, I'd like to know the diameter & material in order to find a replacement, please.
Any help. including links appreciated

EDIT
The ball in question is the one that is part of the Burst Disc assembly
(Next to the greas pot)

Thanks
Edward

if you don't find the answer....i did find this option for sale, i think it's what you're looking for?

Outlet Check Valve assemblies (Assembly dwg # 38-43) One set

This is the last check valve in the system and sees the most stress. Handy to have one on hand for sure.

This one...?
GX pumps have this as a unit, but 'out of stock' at the moment.

It might be helpful if someone measured the diameter of the ball. It is almost certainly a standard bearing diameter.

If USPS does its job, I have a few arriving from @1900colt
I will measure and post the results in this thread

Not saying its a better deal but if maybd needing a starting spot to look somthing up .

I assume looking at the one in the kit above looked ceramic..

I used them guys for my other hobby stuff needing balls or bearings.

Im sure there cheaper alternatives around or shop sales

It wasn't actually a bet, but a prediction. I would never try and profit off of my magical powers, but that sure was an easy call.

It's odd that the ball wouldn't be included in the spare parts kit as its an easy item to lose and likely not that expensive to include. My CS4 is out for a warranty repair, so I can't inspect mine yet. Does anyone have an idea what its made from of what would work as a replacement? The Ceramic option mentioned sounds like a possibility. Definitely not solid rubber? Anyway, would be a good item to have on hand as a spare.

What is the ball made of, metal, plastic, rubber?
