Glad to hear you’re up and running….Greg
Thank you guys for all the help. I just disassebled and reasembled and it works fine now.
You should be able to get it at the hardware store….as for size I don’t know that sorry….you can always take it in with you and have them measure it or just eyeball it…Greg
Can i get this o ring at the hardware store and if so what size is it?
well there is a rite way and a good enough way….
the rite way you’ll need to pull the whole valve assembly out which will let you reassemble every thing easily …but taking it appart the first time is a real pain in the ASS…..here is a link as to what makes up the condor valve…

now for the good enough way…
1. drain all the air out of the tank…
2. using two flat blade screw drivers gently pry up on the top hat (pulling the stem out with it) until it all pulls lose from the valve seal
3. use a pair of snap-ring pliers to unscrew the brass valve guide
4. replace the o-ring that is around the brass guide
5. reinstall the brass guide and snug it up
6. gently install the top hat/ stem combo until you feel it seat into the valve seal
7. before you air up the tank screw it into the gun and dry fire it once or twice to seat the stem the rest of the way down
8. fill the tank and check for leaks
hope this helps….and like i said earlier take your time and dont force anything that dosnt feel rite…Greg
ok i think i need more detailed instructions. i dont want to destroy my valve or tank.
Drain the tank, pop out stem with a couple of flat head screw drivers, use suitable tool to unscrew brass head, replace oring.

its leaking from the brass ring under the top hat.
Tiny tiny leak from somewhere, best put the tank in water and see if you can see where its coming from…..
