Din fill rig O-ring

[Marcus Geezer]

Gents,

Through normal use I have mullered an o-ring in my din fill rig.

It is located on the dump valve in the fill rig and I have tried to replace it with more conventional o-rings from my toolbox, but it seems to need a flat rubber type o-ring, rather than the plastic type round o-ring.

Here are some pics showing the fill rig, the dump valve removed, and a close up of the o-rings. The black one is an original one and what I think I need duplicates of. Where you see the white o-ring, that is where it is required. This white o-ring, being from my toolbox, isnt suitable.

Can anyone advise where I can get correct right o-rings from, perhaps quoting me a part number / ordering reference?

Have they sold you the same part to fix your own fill rig? Most pball shops sell a host of o-rings, but this one seems quite specialist.

Try a plumbers merchants Marcus, I took my fill rig in once as the same thing happened and they sorted me with a new O-ring (disn't get size sorry)

 

[Marcus Geezer]

I'll try that Sid. I knew it wasn't a standard type as the few different ones I tried kept self destructing.

Thanks Sid.

No worries amigo let me know how it goes if you cant find one ill take mine off and send it to you

they should both be round o-rings, i've got them but i can't remember the correct size.
Buy the look of the black one it needs replacing too.

 

[Tom Allen]

can you measure the diameter of the pin, that may give me enough info.

 

[Marcus Geezer]

Although an engineer, I'm electrical, and I've got no way of giving you an accurate measurement of this Tom. The best I could use would be a tape measure and no way would that be tight enough. .

I'm gonna take Sid's advice and go down a plumbers merchants, and if that doesnt work then I'll take it down my local scuba store and see if one of the guys who services the air systems can help. It can't be like trying to find rocking horse poop to get the right part, can it?

If all else fails send the pin to me and i'll sort it and send it back. The o-rings will probably be 90 shure which is a hard o-ring, so i would be carefull what you replace it with.
