Leaking Filter Fitting

[rz35031k]

Hi All

I have an external canister filter and when i hook it up it leaks from the thread where the pipe connects to the other pipe fittings on the filter.
Is there a little 0-ring that goes in there or something that i am missing.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Darren

There probably is an O ring missing, or damaged.... which filter is it ?
I use Eheim externals and they never need a lot of forcr to achieve a water tight seal !

Thanks for the reply, iots an Eheim but there are no o-rings in there at all, i assume from you reply that there must be and will check out at my LFS today.

Once again thanks for your help.
