Rubbers for 22mm Essex Flange.

[Stivino]

I have one of these fittings on the side of my hot water cylinder, http://tinyurl.com/39lupc7 and it's started to leak a little.
Is it possible to get the rubbers/seals/gaskets on their own, or will I have to buy the complete fitting?

Bump.

If the flange is fairly new i.e less than 5 years then you should be able to just tighten it, I would not have thought it would need new washers.

if you need new washers go to decent plumbers merchant they should have some similar to the originals.

Thanks for your reply.
They've been in about ten years, they've started to harden & perish and I could pick bits off them, not that I would. When the cylinder gets cold, water trickles down the outside.

If they are perished then definitely replace them why not call the manufacturers as they have good customer service they might send you a pair in the post http://www.essexflanges.com/index.html
