DGX lists them for $2.50, which would be fine if it wasn't another $8 in shopping. Not knocking DGX, order from them all the time. Just can't swallow $13 for .05 cents in o rings.

Anyone know what size to get? They're listed as 3C-9104. Does that correlate in any way?

Mine are excruded beyond hope. I havethoyght about matching them up, but maybe someone can help? The hardware store has all their o rings in little packages, I feel bad opening just to test.

Here is my model;

Here are the replacement o rings;
 
I bit the bullet and just ordered a bunch of stuff from DGX along with the o rings.

I'll measure them with a micrometer and see if I can get an accurate replacement and part number. I'll post here.
 
I tried to match them up at the hardware store while I waited and I got really close, but I was a size too big. The ones from DGX just barely fit inside the ones from the store, but the 1/16th is the right width.

This should absolutely be the right size

1-1/2" ID, 1-5/8" OD, 1/16" Width​

So I hope this helps someone in a pinch!

It's a size 029 made from EPDM according to Tectite. I purchased some from the oring store and they work fine. No leaks.

Well where were you last week?!?!

Actually, the size I listed came up as 029 on Amazon.
