Hozelock rubber rings

happyhero

Hi does anybody know can you get the little rubber rings you get round all the push fit connectors? I have several different attachments and connectors and many of the rings have perished or split whereas the fittings are still perfect so I only want to replace the rings.

I realise you may be able to buy these rubber rings as a seperate item maybe for something else, but I was hoping to either get the right ones or for someone to come up with an exact replacement which is easily obtainable and hopefully very cheap.

I have looked for them and have found none so far.

Any help appreciated.

Do you mean the little rubber washers? Hozelock sell a packet of different sized rubber washers for a couple of quid.

Sorry if I have misunderstood.

I am not sure if you mean the same thing as me. You mention different sizes and even though I have many different fittings the bit bit I mean seems to be only one size, so I don't know what the other sizes could be for. Also with the way these rings perish you would really want to be able to buy them in packets of at least 10 at a time all the same size.

Also they are actually rings and not washers. Sorry dont mean to be finicky here but just want to make it clear about the bit I mean. These rings are on the outside of the fitting and you push them on until they slip into their groove/home.

Sorry. The things that I were talking about are the black things on the end of the picture of a tap connector on the link below:

Yes thanks, you are right, thats the bit but they are always the same size so I dont know why the pack has all different sizes in it.

I think the O rings as they call them are 1 size and then they do different sized washers. Its the O rings that you are looking for but you can only get them in this spares kit.

I bought a packet of these all the same size but some time ago. The fittings are universal so if hozelock don't do them the Gardena or any other make should do.

Our local market has a tool stall which sell boxes of ‘o’rings, about £2 for a box of 100 assorted sizes, like these ones :- http://www.toolshopdirect.co.uk/silverline/product/398779
You might be lucky and find a box with some in the correct size.
If not take an old one to your local old fashion hardware shop, ours sells them for about 10/20 pence each depending on the size.
Just be aware that there are Metric and Imperial ‘o’ring sizes, although similar they are slightly different sizes.

They are made of neoprene and you should be able to get them in any good plumbing merchants or DIY shop.
