Replacing faucet o-rings (Perlick)

[ericbw]

I had a leaky Perlick 525SS, so I took it apart and cleaned it up. The o-rings are all in decent shape, although they seem kind of dry - not cracking or anything. As long as it is apart, I want to replace the rings.

The parts are cheap, but the usual sources (online brewing sites) charge 8-10 shipping (for about a $2-3 purchase). The full rebuild kit is $14, but it has metal parts I don't need.

Does anyone know if they sell these at Home Depot, etc. or do I really have to get the exact part from one of the brewing sources and pay the shipping?

I don't know the answer to your question, but check out ritebew.com. Their shipping rates on smaller parts are typically better than what the usual suspects charge. I just added a handful of faucet O-rings to my cart and USPS 1st class mail was only $2.43.

I will take a look there!
