I need to find a 16mm (Internal Diameter) x1.5mm O-ring. I hoped it
would be easy to find..

All of the 'sets' contain mainly 2mm+ O-rings.. I have tried a
Pneumatics supplier and they just have a 'set'.. The same is true of
the Automotive spares dealers I have tried.

I have found a good on-line supplier, and they do a 16.1x1.6mm too
(which I am interested to try as it may give me a better seal), but
their miniumum order is £10...

So does anyone know where I can get this kind of O-ring? Better still,
does anyone know which industry would use them.. Perhaps if I knew
what sort of people used this size (i.e Pumps, Hydraulics, etc), I
might be able to blag a few..

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

sounds like whats in pushfit connectors.

Trouble with all this stuff is teh manufacturers sell in millions to
various people who use them and they make up expensive sets of
them..there is no-one retailing them bare, as it were.

Dear Jon

O rings are very good at what they do but a pain in the butt to size.

By the time you have sub-divided metric/ imperial - the materials you are
trying to seal against and the hardness required there are a bewildering
array of possibilities, normally only a few of which are available off the
shelf.

When I was involved in the game, the main manufacturer was Eriks Allied
Polymer (EAP) - the people who provided the size books.

The stockists we used were Rhondama at Loughborough (Leicestershire).

You are unlikely to obtain the precise size you require locally, unless they
are spares for a specific item.

To be honest, as long as its 1.5mm, There are quite a few sizes I
could use...

The actual slot in the 'part' is 18.5mm, so I am guessing that I could
probably get away with a 16, 17 or 18mm O-ring.. But its the 1.5mm bit
that I am having problems finding.

I just don't know what sort of industry use 'thin' O-Rings like this!!

The PDF download (second link above)is everthing you wanted to know
about O-rings (and a whole lot more) but were too afraid to ask.

or Apeks might fit. Where are you based?
