Cornie poppet O-ring?

[kev]

I've got bags and bags of seals for all the places on a corbie keg with the exception of the tiny poppet O-ring.

Can these be replaced/serviced or do I need to buy another actual poppet with the seal in place?

You should be able to just change the o ring. But can't recall the size you need.

Yeh that's the problem. No ideas what to buy.

You can definitely replace them, I have on all of mine but I have bought seal kits similar to this: http://www.hopandgrape.co.uk/public/detailv1.asp?itemcode=REP20163426

You just need to get a flat head screwdriver under the washer and prise it off, they don't put up much of a fight. Then you will be able to measure it or take it to a plumbers :thumb:

Yeh those are the kits I have......which don't have the poppet seal in them.

Will just go to the plumbers and see what they say.

Ah, sorry. I should read properly, I thought you meant the post washer. I have never changed the washer on the poppet but have wondered where I might get them from.

Let us know how you get on :thumb:

 

[kev]

No worries. If I find them I will buy loads and post on here.

Should only be penny's each.

I'll certainly be interested if you get some, thanks :thumb:

this Aussie brew site post has a lot of oring replacement sugestions in silicone.

looks like #105 in this list should do it?

I've tried to replace the poppet rubbers with o-rings as I had a couple which leaked and a box of assorted sized rings from Maplin's. It didn't work and I ended up buying new poppets from Norm.

The trouble is, they aren't standard o-rings, they are square cornered L shaped rubber washers.

This is what you want

Select BS008 from the drop down menu. I recently watched a how to video on changing them and as soon as I find it I will post a link.
