My sudsy test shows a leak on the front of the bottle adapter, Part 16. There's a small hole in the end that faces the bottle. I can't find an O-ring size. Does anyone know off hand?
FX Maverick leak out of bottle adapter?

That is the weep hole for the regulator. One of the o rings in the regulator has crapped out on ya. Can’t remember which one it is, but I’m sure someone will chime in that knows.

Thanks to both of you. I didn't realize the Dreamilne was the same. I have Orings so easy fix.

Hope you have the right ones, the ones on the adjuster are N-90's, brittle little suckers. There is an N90 on Part 19...I think there is one more also. 70's will work but the die faster., be sure to lube them.

What I had for my Dreamline wasn't all that I needed for this. I just ordered more from Oringsandmore.com based on the NBR 70 or 90 that FX listed for it.

The FX drawings were wrong last I looked, they may have changed them, not sure. I got an updated list and even it was wrong, had a HUGE o-ring in there, but it had the revised o-rings listed.
I've been digging deeper into the FX Mavericks o-rings and I've found that there are serious errors in both the online schematic AND the schematic they send with o-ring orders.
The schematic sent has different hardness's i.e. NBR90 instead of NBR70, this makes sense except one is several mm thicker than possible in it's location. The on-line schematic has the old durometer numbers but the right sizes. Numbers below correspond to the online schematic.
13) 10.0 x 1.5 NBR90 inside Regulator hole at bottom of threads
18) 7.5 x 2 NBR70 Regulator Body
20) 4.0 x 1.5 NBR90 End of Piston
23) 4.0 x 1.5 NBR90 Inside Regulator Body
25) 2.0 x 1.0 NBR90 (2x) Adjustment Screw, suggestion heat in boiling water slip on first one, then second one, or if you have a witches hat it’s easier. And no, heating them doesn't mess them up, they return to shape. I lube with Mobile One, the light stuff. No, no explosions or fire coming out of the muzzle.....rats.
