I decided replace the bladder on my rec wing recently which had a substantial leak. I received the bladder and did the replacement and noticed I had a slow leak. I pretty sure the leak comes from the valve gasket/flange. I reused the same gaskets, flipping them around. I did the install without the tools or lubricant/adhesive.

Anyone one have any recommendation ? I'm not 100% sure I did things right.
 
dont be afraid to tighten it down. I had the same thing with a leaky fitting at the hose wing fitting. the shop just tightened it up a bit more and presto . good to go. I dont thinkyou wold want to use any adhisive on it. clean smooth surfaces and the gaskit should do it. You dont by chance have 2 gaskits installed do you? Something to check.
