Question elbow flange gasket: Hollis/DGX

[dmaziuk]

Does anyone happen to know which hardware store plumbing gasket fits the elbow on Hollis/DGX (probably some others) wing? -- I can get one one from DGX for $4+p/h but that does sound kinda silly. I'll go on a tour of local Aces and Home Despots on the weekend, but just in case someone's already been through that and knows what the part is called, exactly, please share.

It's 1 3/8" OD / 1" ID / 1/8" thick

The "Neoprene Rubber Black Rubber Flat Washers" I needed for the elbow gasket on my wing were 1 1/2" OD, not 1 3/8", otherwise identical, and I paid more than $4, but did get a 12 pack and worked perfectly for my application.

Thank you, that looks like what I'm after. There is some room in the seat, 1.5" will likely fit just fine, and if it doesn't: I can always run a dremel w/ sandpaper drum around the outside of the washer.

find a sheet of 1/8" rubber and cut your own with an exacto knife.

Seems like a hard way to not save $4.

I'll never cut them as neat as factory-made, but if I can invent other uses for the rest of the 6"x6" sheet, maybe...

it doesn't have to be super neat, it just needs to seal and work. You can cut one from an old rubber weight belt.

So the local hardware store didn't have the right kind and I ended up with a 10-pack of these -- a near-perect fit, just shade thicker and maybe half a mil bigger in the OD. And it's 9 more that I need, so maybe I should be replacing them more often than every 10 years.
