New Member with New Garden Pub Needs a Seal for Hand Pump

[user 46420]

Evening all,

I love beer, but I am so far a failed home brewer. Favourite tipple is IPA (American hops), but also like ales that have a similar hoppy flavour. I also love Guinness.
I just built a pub in my garden, (home brewing is the next stage) and I have a manual beer pump that's in need of a new diaphragm seal because it's lost its suction power.
The guys at Home page - Hand Pumps, Beer Pumps, Fonts, Gas Regulators, Cask Craft Ale, Beer Engines, Spares, Aspirator Breather have been ever so helpful, but my pump is old so they don't stock parts anymore.
Does anyone know what I can do?

Thanks
R

Hi Welcome to the forum.
Suggestion get some silicon sheet and make your own

Agree with above, also try a good marine supply place boats have all sorts of plumbing on them

Ah good point. Hadn't thought about boats. Thank you!

Go on ebay and get a piece of silicone mat. I just bought a 2mm thick piece 10cm x 10cm to make new seals for my ball lever valve on my urn and cost £1.50 inc post. Very easy to cut with scissors and stanley knife.

Can you send a picture of the engine please. I think one of my engines is similar.

Could you share the link to that please, as all I see are thrice the price.
Thanks.
