Belmont Rad. Valve O-Rings

[willingz]

Anyone know a supplier (either online or within/near M25) of these at a sensble price?

Pegler do them direct. Otherwise you need the dimensions to match them up.


There are two sizes - red and green. Red are for the older ones IIRC.

And it's a brave man that replaces an O ring "live" as peglar state is possible, I have found that when putting the shaft back it is all too easy to push the valve seat, therefore breaking the seal that is stopping the water form pishing out!!

they are incredibly expensive

I went through this a few years back - see //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1235388#1235388

Unless you can find a friendly heating engineer, I would be tempted to try a supplier of "O" rings, where you should be able to buy about a thousand for the price of one from Pegler.

They should be ashamed of themselves for their wicked profiteering.

I took them all apart, descaled, polished up the brass with a green nylon scourer, reassembled with silicone grease, and PTFE tape on all the threaded seals. If you're in trouble, wrapping PTFE round the spindle until you can get the "O" rings may stop them leaking. You may find it extremely difficult to dismantle them without a vice, some big ring spanners and a socket of exactly the right size, and possibly a flame.

They are fricking expensive or what they are... when you get the dimensions - let us know .

I've got about 15 green and approx 60 red Belmont O rings if you're interested.

Still availlable !!

Terry was great when I needed some

 

[willingz]

Thanks to everyone for the replies, which I've only now been able to view.

45yearsagasman: certainly am interested in the reds.

JohnD: who is Terry, please?

 

[JohnD]

Him.

Still availlable !!

I should have put my brain in the right gear before dashing off my last note.
Firstly, it's green rings that I need, not red.
Also I'm embarrassed at having offers from both 45yearsagasman and Terrywookfit and not knowing how to make contact - I fear that this should probably be obvious to me.
My apologies for not progressing this smoothly.
