Plastic Washer/Seal CO2

Post by Swiller » Mon Oct 20, 2014 11:50 am

Anyone know where I can get some Nylon Washers for the CO2 Regulator
the one that fits between the CO2 bottle and the regs?
I saw them on e-bay or Amazon months ago but my patience has
run out looking for them.

Cheers for any pointers.

FWIW I couldn't find dedicated CO2 washers at sensible prices, so I recently got some of the reusable dowty type seals (metal outer, rubber inner) from ebay here, the 12mm size seem to fit my CO2 regulators okay - can't say for certain if that would be universally true though. They may be similar to what Fil has?

Thanks Fil & Kev for your replies.

I had two of each types but found the ones with the metal inner core
would not seal even if I tightened the union further than I was happy
doing. No problem at all with the plastic/nylon ones.

Hi, if you know anyone in the fire extinguisher business, the plastic washer used on a 5kg CO2, fits and seals a treat.
no palate, no patience.


Drinking - of course
