Default Rubber o-rings

Anyone have any suggestions on a place in the GVRD that would have a big selection (maybe bulk) of rubber o-rings?

One fell out of a true union ball valve and I can't find it!!!

Already tried Home Despot and Rona as well as Terasen, but no luck so far on getting the right size.

How about Princess Auto, I thought I saw a O-ring assortment kit there before.

Theres a place in Richmond (in steveston) on chattam street caleed NIkka's that usually has things like that. You can try marine hardware as well which is across the street from it but I have had my share of bad experiences there.

I picked up the rubber o-rings for my DIY denitrator from NE Seal in Burnaby. The items seemed a bit pricey, but they claim to have every size of o-rings ever made, and I had a specific size that I needed ... which sounds like your situation as well.

To get the proper o-ring, you'll first have to determine the specification of your missing o-ring. The following page has a sample chart with the corresponding #'s for each o-ring ... they show thousands of possibilities. The odds are that the standard AS series of sizes will match your needs.

Good luck ...

Thanks for the suggestions.

I got what I needed from Fluidseal. They are literally up to the a**es with o-rings there!

(Sorry couldn't help myself =p )
