Need Help With a Part

[louballs]

Does anyone know the size/name of the rubber washer that is between the hose from the CO2 tank (5 lb) that connects to the keg coupler? I noticed all my co2 was mysteriously gone. I checked all the hoses and noticed that the rubber washer in there was pretty much destroyed. I want to order a bunch to have on hand, but want to make sure its the correct one.

Thanks!

Lou

if you are looking for the washer that goes between the tank and regulator its typically nylon or a fiber material.

Are you talking about a sanke keg coupler? The black rubber washer that goes in between the barb and the coupler, then is compressed by tightening the nut? That should just be a standard hose washer, you can get them at any hardware store.

Ah, my bad for assuming it was the same as a hose washer. In my defense, I'm pretty sure I've accidentally swapped it out with the hose washer on my immersion chiller and it worked fine.

Thanks everyone. I couldn't find this anywhere! Went to home depot last night and they had nothing that matched the ruined one I brought with me. Even the salesmen said they didn't have it. Then on the floor, loose, was one just sitting right there. So I picked it up, disinfected it, and we're back in action!

On another note, I'm surprised I can't find this online for less than $.45! Seems expensive just for a washer...
