Nice setup so far though. Can't wait for the results.

I think others would back me on this but using oil would be the worst possible thing you could do, it needs to "grip" itself in the channel or it would never stay. It would be way to slippery IMO.
I do usually give a slight film to O-rings when I do install them, Read not computers, as it helps keep them supple.

Ended up with a day off thanks to the rain here today so I might get some more work done today, unless the wife finds out I am at home then I just know she's going to get me to prep for painting the spare bedroom.

Shhhhush you have Sean me........

If you ever have troubles putting o-rings into a groove stick the o-ring into hot water and it'll soften it up enough to make it more flexible temporary and go back to its stiffness after its cooled down.

Nice never thought of that makes sense thought.
I would say it was more of a problem of getting it into the channel then anything else it just didn't want to stay the strait part as well as the corners. The channel just didnt want to grip it.

Seems like you need a lot of components to put together a WC system. The list certainly helps others get it together. Looks good anyway.
What are barbs though?

Barbs are fittings

Sorry, they recommend grease not oil.

INSTALLATION NOTES:

1/ O-ring replacement:

Using a dab of grease inside and at each corner of the o-ring groove will ease o-ring installation

Oil can be bad for o-rings can if I recall correctly it can actually damage o-rings due to the material of the o-ring where grease won't harm it and is kinda sticky.

Update: I have been a lazy slob all week and have done nothing

Bad Grover, Bad.

And I think I forgot something, I wanted to put a T-line in to drain.......going to have to stop in the hardware store and see what I can come up with or wait another week and place a order.

Or say screw it and put it in if/when I drain the system.

If you want one, and don't put it in now, you'll hate yourself when the time comes to drain the system........ :)
