Sneaky Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Hi all, This hop bucking has four ridges round the outside. Will that get in the way in installing this on an M4 type hop unit? Thanks inadvance. https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/maple-leaf-macaron-70-aeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 They usually fit ok, the ridges help compress the rubber on the barrel and aid the seal. I have occasionally had to use a drop of silicone oil on the outside of the rubber to help it slide in to the hop (oh er ! 🤣) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted May 22, 2021 Supporters Share Posted May 22, 2021 generally isn't a problem, as mentioned the purpose is to improve seal around the rubber. unless your hop unit is particularly tight it won't be a problem, although the only hop unit i've met that did that was the madbull rotary unit and that was so damn tight it didn't matter what rubber you were using (giggedy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concretesnail Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 As other have mentioned it should just help the seal and fitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
