Old ro units/parts laying around? Need o-ring.
 

Anyone in Calgary with an old unit they don't use? I don't need anything except the 4 or 5" across-ish o-ring that sites between the base of the unit and the housing that holds the filters and threads on. Haven't had luck finding a place to buy one yet. Frustrating when a part worth $2 maybe is keeping me from running DI resin.

I can pay top dollar (like $5) and even add you to my friends list (worth $0)

I'll check.

I've had fairly good luck at Rona for O-rings. They USED to have a stash of different sizes.

There used to be a place called Able-O-Rings. Of course they don't exist anymore, but when I went looking for them I found this other place now, whose name I can't remember. But I can totally sort of remember how to get there. Wow, is this an incredibly helpful story.

Ok, in a pinch, a O-ring that is too big can be cut and superglued back together.

But I'll go check my jar of O rings for anything that might fit the bill.

Yeah it looks like I might have one that size. Get your people to get in touch with my people and we'll go from there.

R-A-D!

Maybe this weekend sometime I can swing by, ogle the tanks and give you a fiver?

Thanks for looking =)

A high five will suffice. We can also talk about the chairs in my basement and how much nicer than they are than the concrete floor is in Justin's arteestic pad. :p And how I've lovingly splattered the place with designer cat hairball splatters. It's the BOMB man.

For future reference, if you are having trouble find parts like o-rings, or anything for that matter, try McMaster-Carr (http://www.mcmaster.com). They carry almost anything you'd ever look for and they ship usually within a day or two if they have what you are looking for in stock (which they usually do). I've had a few devices that used non-standard sizes for o-rings; McMaster had them for less than what the manufacturer was going to sell me a replacement for.

Thanks steve. I was looking there earlier on when I was going to use a linear bearing rail system to slide my light. Amazing selection and a true paradise for diy.

Tony I'll see your hairballs and raise you a little cat puke ;)
