Sight Glass Seals/Gaskets

[Mike Howard]

Anyone know of a good source for Sight Glass seals/gaskets? I've looked at BreweryGaskets, but they are out of stock. Can't seem to locate another source online.

I have two sight glasses, both have a 1-1/2" glass tube, but differ in the outer dimensions. One is 2-3/8" OD x 1-1/2" ID with a raised lip and the other one is 2" OD x 1-3/8" ID.

I might have found a source for gaskets here: Conical Fermenter Thanks to someone over on Pro-Brewers Forum.

Also ordered these Dernord from Amazon.

I can confirm that the gaskets I got from Conical Fermenter, DO NOT work as well for a sight glass seal. The gaskets are flat and do not protect the glass from the wall of the housing, due to the lack of a ridge. They do seal pretty well and could be used in a pinch, and since I had to order 10, I guess that is how they will be used.

The Dernord seals worked great for my smaller sight glass and were identical, except for the material, as my original gasket.

I'm still searching for a replacement seal for the larger sight glass.

For what it's worth I've had good luck with Dernord products from Amazon.

I think the sight glass I have on my Spike conical is from Denord.
