Blickmann Boilermaker O ring

[Sheldon]

My Blickmann outer valve O ring has broken and I am in need of a new one. It appears that it is virtually impossible to just buy 1 O ring of any size from Blickmann or anyone. Does anyone on the forum has an extra one? Its the largest of the O rings on the Boilermaker. Please PM or respond and I will send my address and any required payment.

Thanks

Sheldon

I don't have a Boilermaker, but I use Blichmann-style fittings on my vessels. Per this thread, https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=206493 the McMaster equivalent is 9396K66 which is a 1/16" thick o-ring with an inside diameter of 13/16" and outside diameter of 15/16". You might be able to find that at a hardware store. I have some similar ones that might work. They're #211 from oringsandmore.com, so they're 1/8" wall rather than 1/16". That also means an OD of 1 1/16" rather than 13/16". PM me if you'd like to try one. Here's the link to the #211 rings if you'd like to check them out, http://www.oringsandmore.com/silicone-o-rings-size-211-price-for-25-pcs/
And to the #019 rings which would be the 1/16" thick equivalent, http://www.oringsandmore.com/silicone-o-rings-size-019-price-for-50-pcs/

Local home brew shop owner said he has a spare for me. I was able to temporarily fix the leak and brew on Thursday. If this offer falls through, I will get back to you.

Thanks for the offer.
