Replacement O-Rings

[Zenataos]

Hey peeps, just wondering if someone can help me locate some replacement O-Rings for the VPX Cartomator tank, need new inner and outer O-rings... any help with how to size an o-ring (no idea) or where to buy them in Canada would help.

I've noticed NHaler has some replacement O-rings however they are based out of the US and shipping can be really expensive for $3 worth of O-Rings, so if anyone know what type of store carries O-rings and what size I need it would help a TON!!

A home depot type store will carry them, also most plumbing shops. Taking the ones you want to match into the store will be a must as there are many that are "close" in size. Not sure what store names to suggest as I am not familiar with Canadian stores.

I think I still have a set of those o-rings that I haven't installed, yet. I'll go measure them in a few minutes and give you the exact sizes

Both o-rings are 1.5mm cross section, the inner one is 9mm inside diameter and the outer one is 11mm inside diameter. This is measured on a set purchased from Nhaler

I don't know any specific places to look in Canada other than the usual hardware or plumbing stores, but oringsusa is a good place for bulk o-ring purchases if you're looking to get extras, assuming shipping is cheap. I'm not sure what their international shipping rates are, but it could be worth asking (standard first class to Canada would only be a few bucks on a personal package that small, so they may have a reasonable option)

Hope that helps you

Thank you for looking into that for me Killjoy1!

I still didn't know the correct size but I went down to Home Depot with them in tow... no dice, nothing to be had that was even close.

Went to NAPA Autoparts and they just had a wall of O-Rings, sized up some that looked very similar and they are working flawlessly at this point. Purchased 4 O-Rings (2 inner 2 outer) and redid my tank, perfect fit.

The best part is @ NAPA it only cost me $1 for all the O-Rings!

Thanks again for your help!
