anyone have wanting to share tips/tricks for getting swivel gaskets to seal nicely and not leak. Seems like on all our 4 section Z booms the swivel gasket between section B and C has a tendency to leak. Any helpful info would be greatly appreciated.

For a quick cheap solution. Open the clamb, put some ductape around the gasket and close the clamb again. Maybe use a hammer ;-)

I've seen 2 different rubber gaskets. One with sharp edges on the outside (or on the 'top' if you like) one with a bit rounded edges. Make sure you have the one with the sharp edges.

First confirm the alignment on the pipeline joint is corect. If the pipeline is out of alignment the clamp and seal will wear out fast.

I got a sugestion from a student in a class, instead of filling the gasket with grease he fills his with silicone, it gets semi solid and wont wash out with the concrete so soon. He loved it.
