Butterfly Valve Gaskets

[Mike Howard]

I have a leaking gasket on one of my 1.5 TC Butterfly valves and I'm looking for a gasket replacement with little success. I order a generic one, but the width of the gasket is too large. Anyone have a source that lists the dimensions of the gaskets? I've questioned MoreBeer, GW Kent, Glacier tanks and I am awaiting a response from those guys.

My current seal/gasket is 2" OD with a width of 11/16" and a shaft diameter of 3/8", but every place I look just states their seals only work with their valves, they don't give the dimensions.

Check with @Bobby_M, he has at least one 1.5" butterfly valve gasket on his brewhardware.com site, he might be able to give you the measurements you need...

I'd like to find a replacement butterfly valve ( disk ) for some of my fermentasaurus. They appear to be made of something cheap, perhaps plated and have corroded.
It's a plastic cased butterfly valve with screw thread female fittings of different sizes and threads on each end.

The ones I have are not close. Mine are 1-15/16 OD, 13/16" thick with 7/16" shaft bore.

I sent Brewery Gaskets my dimensions OD ~ 52.4mm, ID ~35.2mm, THK ~17.8mm, HS ~9.8mm and they have two different seals that are a little different, but close. I'm going to order one of each and see how they fit, since my gasket is pretty worn and I'm not sure of the measurements, if the valve was new.

Also, since my valves are SS Brew Tech, I contacted them and they do have some in stock, but told me they have several iterations of valves. That makes me think they may not have these same ones in the future, so finding a replacement is critical.

Also need to find some universal Butterfly valves, that have the most common size gaskets, so replacements would be readily available.

Follow up:

This gasket Butterfly Valve Seat 1.5" EPDM from Brewery Gaskets fits the SS Brewtech 20 gal fermenters and brite tanks. I replaced the worn gasket and this seems to work. I believe it will also fit the 1 BBL fermenters and brite tanks but need to order a few more to try it out. I purchased my systems between 2018 and 2019.

Don't know who needs to see this, but this seems to be the easiest way to install these gaskets without purchasing a ridiculously expensive gadget. Very easy and doesn't require a tool to mar the surface. Struggled with them for a minute before figuring this out.
