Help - 3-Piece Ball Valve Gasket/Ring

[cscalesey]

Can someone help me identify this gasket/ring that is part of Morebeer's 3-Piece Ball Valve? They do not offer a replacement kit and customer service has not been helpful.

Would that be the: "smaller PTFE packing washers that seal the stem." in this:3-piece (3pc) Ball Valve Replacement Seat Kit ?

It is not. I actually purchased that item from Bobby hoping it would be a universal fitting (see photos below). The fitting he sells comes as one solid unit and is thicker at the outer end and will not lay flush. I don't own any 3-piece ball valves by other manufacturers, but I assume this is more standard than the one I purchased from morebeer.

I've never seen a 3pc design that uses a separate oring inside like that. You should be able to measure the size and get something as close as possible from a dedicated oring vendor. Check sizing charts for metric as there are more incremental sizes in metric.

This version of the 3pc is a huge pain in the ass to reseal after cleaning. I didn't have one set properly when tightening and the oring stretched. I thought having these in my arsenal would encourage regular cleaning but I hate popping them open. Shoulda bought from brewhardware.

Appreciate the help, Bobby! I will stop being lazy and make the measurements.

I've got one valve like that. If something happens to it, I guess I'll just but a new valve.

I'm actually surprised anyone offers replacement plastic bits for ball valves because there's no standard design and a bazillion sources...
