Does anyone have a source for food grade O rings? I found one online
and sent an inquiry. I was ignored. Any leads appreciated.

We built piston pumps for food products for years (salad dressings
etc) and always used Buna N "O rings" with a food grade lubricant.

What is so special in this application?

If I told you I'd have to kill you! :-)

No big deal, just contact with ethyl alcohol---home brew variety. It would
be nice to not introduce tastes or chemicals. Sounds like Buna N is the
word. I know it's approved for that application, just wasn't sure about
the food contact part. Thanks, Dave.
