Title: best place to get o rings for 3/8 quick release connectors.?
Post by: Total shine cleaning services on July 10, 2013, 11:51:31 pm

hi guys as above, been using these connectors for a while but the large o ring at the entrance to the female usually gets serrated and leaks, have been using grease but they still wear at a rate of knots, as I've said any advice would be great.

Thanks Matt, is it normal for them to go on a daily basis..?, I've been meticulous at greasing and wiping the males as not to transfer grit onto the seals

Not on a daily basis but they do break, have you checked the male end? has it got any "burrs" or starting to wear as this will break/damage the "O" ring when putting male into female.

get them from simplybearings.co.uk the size you require is 2.5mm thick, 20mm inside diameter. 25mm outside diameter get the Nitrile ones they are much harder wearing, this size will only fit 2 out of the 3 O rings in the connector but you will find these are the only ones that you need to replace. If you buy in bulk then 500 O rings cost £23 and 1000 O rings cost only £38

You do not need to put the smaller O ring in they work fine without it.
