Who sells a ball valve with replacement parts available?

[CharlieVT]

The white hard plastic gaskets in my cheap multi piece ball valves (I got them used) are damaged and collecting more yuck than I'd like. I don't know where to buy spares (both of them have different white plasticy gaskets). I'd like to buy a few good quality ball valves from a vendor that carries replacement parts (gaskets). Any reccommendatons?

You might be able to find replacement parts for large industrial-grade valves but for our 1/2" valves, which are basically just plumbing fittings, I think you'll be hard pressed to find any replacement parts at all. They'd probably cost you more than a complete valve replacement in any case...

I didn't realize that. Thank you.

It just pains me to discard an otherwise serviceable piece of equipment over a wear and tear part that probably costs pennies.

I guess I'll just buy some new ones though, rather than risk a ruined batch.

Brewers Hardware sell quality ball valves (threaded and tri-clover) and have replacement seat and gasket sets for them. The quick, clean take apart ball valves are great because you can easily take them apart (as the name implies) to clean them without tools. Ball Valves from Brewers Hardware
