Thread: O-Ring Supplier

I'm not sure this is the correct forum for my query, but there are so many well-informed and helpful people here I'll give it a go.

I need to replace an O-ring. Its from a garden spray and I don't know the material but I imagine its nothing too special. The size I need has OD about 58 mm. Can anyone suggest where in Sydney I might be able to buy a single (or perhaps 2) ring?. On-line searches produced several suppliers but they deal in 100s.

Thanks

Norman

My local (small) hardware store has them by the each.

Kev,

Can you be a bit more specific ? I tried my local Bunnies but they didn't want to know.

Thanks

Any hydraulic shop and some bearing shops....

They are one of few remaining little husband & wife stores, hence the word small. They carry a plastic box containing perhaps 10-20 of about 20 different sizes.

You could also try Repco or plumbing stores.

Thanks to KevM and .RC. Given me some helpful ideas to follow up.

+1 for bearing shops. Mine sells things like O-rings and split pins and anything else singly. Dunno how - or why - they do it really. But I'm glad they do.

The best place for me is renseal in victoria, They have almost everything I need.

+1 for bearing shops -

CBC locally (Melbourne) has been quite helpful when I needed one of this and one of that to stop oil coming out of an old Ford Dexta rear axle Hydraulic system. Not all was in stock but they got things.

I've also used BSC and found the local store had a bigger range in stock but also had a bigger minimum cash sale.

Both amazingly helpful.

One thing - the easy to get "O" rings are the imperial sizes

Based on advice from this forum I sourced an O-ring from Hooper bearings in Mascot. The staff spent some time to find the best match they could to the damaged ring then let me have it for free. It works well. I'll definitely use them again.

LOL

Each time I am in SKF bearing there always seems to be someone in their with a broken or second hand o ring. It makes you wonder about the cost, with the time it takes measuring and finding one in the kit for a few bob, it would cost more in wages.

there are a couple of others but I cant recall at the moment...old age

Hello Norman,
I just measured the OD of the square section "O"ring which is used on the 50mm (2") S traps used under sinks and wash basins and they are very close to 58mm. The section is about 3mmx3mm . You will get these from plumbers supplies or most hardware stores. Russell

Most bearing supply shops have them

Thanks for the recent posts with suggested sources. As I indicated a few days ago I was able to obtain an O-ring from Hoopers in Mascot so I'm set.
