I recently acquired a CTI N3180 red. I decided to do some test fitting of it, and the liner seems shorter than it should be. When assembled as normal in Pro98 hardware (using the parts I received), the liner is about 3/8" short. Hmmmm. So, doing a bit of research, it appears that this motor was cross-certified in RMS hardware, and when using the RMS hardware, there was a special longer closure specifically for this motor. The nozzles for the RMS and Pro98 were also supposed to be different. Although the o-rings provided are for the Pro98 nozzle, they don't fit the nozzle very well, and I suspect that the nozzle is the RMS version.
The pic below shows a nozzle for an O3400 on the top and my N3180 nozzle on the bottom. The shoulder on the O3400 is longer, and this fits the liner/motor for the N3180. Therefore, I suspect that the nozzle on bottom is for the RMS version of the N3180. Note the shorter shoulder and the wider o-ring groove. The Pro98 version of the N3180 nozzle would likely have the same longer shoulder as the O3400 nozzle. Can anyone confirm that the nozzle on the bottom in the pic is indeed an RMS nozzle?
Thanks.
