I'm using with Orbit 58197N spike base, getting lots of leakage though tightened with wrench. Should the base have a grommet or is the head the issue?

THE rain bird has a 1/2 in taper pipe thread, if it goes all the way down and hits bottom it will not seal so try a hose washer in the Orbit spike base, I hope the base is not cracked and as you tighten the head it opens up.

You should have no problems using the flange eat. I never disconnect my parts either and the opening is stretchy material

It is a tight fit, not sure what else you bought but is is a little difficult by design. the main braided line hooks to the distributer and the distributer with all it's screw valves hooks to your output lines, they should all be very tight.

I have two of these mounts installed in 400mm configurations and know not of which nut you are speaking. Looking at my installations right now, all my nuts are too the backside (LOL) and none of them are exactly flush.

There's enough groves in the grommet where it should also fit the base. Hope that helps!

I have this problem, too. The nut doesn't seem to be threaded all the way through, and so can only screw so far onto the long allen bolt - leaving the flanges hanging loose. Not obvious what to do.

yep they have high temp silicone washers and you screw it all together... make sure you have the right size wrenches because you want it nice and tight... I've had it for over a year with no leaks been through like 15 or 20 batches with no problems

The screw head tucks behind the flange. I even used pan heads and they were fine.

I used a 1 inch section of the more rigid "riser" tubing that normally is used a top of a stake for a sprinkler head. It was stiff enough to allow the threads to bite, and then went on to a normal tee to connect to the main tubing. Does that make sense?

I am having issues with it fitting flush due to the rivets. Did you ever attempt/resolve this?

I have a 1993 version Marlin 60 (first two S/N digits are 07) and the ring that goes around the feed tube doesn't quite tighten enough. Even with the supplied shim. So, I have to figure a way to get it to tighten up a bit either with a thicker shim, or some other locking mechanism to keep the ring from sliding forward on the tube.

No, it should not leak. Please align and distribute the gasket equally around periphery before locking and operation.

There should be enough play to level it out before you set the screws with lock tight. I'm guessing that the rings may be a bit high on your scope. See if you can find some lower profile rings but still keep it off the rail.

May be its not align properly .Loose both bolt and retight them it should be ok

None yet... I've only put ~100 rounds through since my install. With that said, I'm using tall rings (actually too high, but all I had at the time). So, to answer your question, no... Not yet.

I have mine mounted outside under my SES. It seems sealed up well. I think I sealed the threads with some silicone.

I am having the same issue! I may try the caulk idea. My barrel was full and backed up into the diverted as designed, then began to overflow from where the two sections connect causing an erosion issue.
