So based on the disassembled pix above, it looks like the neck assembly is just a press-fit into the skimmer body. That's the way Via Aqua does theirs.
On the ATB it looks like a flat PVC ring has been glued to the outer circumference of the clear acrylic neck tube. Then it looks like there is some sort of relief groove machined into this PVC ring that accepts a silicone o-ring. Then the whole neck assembly is just press-fitted into a bigger PCV ring that's glued to the acrylic cone. No twist-loks, unions, or fancy water pressure seal?
Is that how it works?
