Rubber O-Ring/ Washer for the CO2 Regulator
I have this ISTA AcuDose CO2 controller/regulator. It was working fine since I bought it, almost 2 yrs ago but this time around when I removed it for CO2 refill, the rubber washer broke. I didn't realize this until I saw that the pressure dropped immensely in one night and the gauge started showing less than 500 from 1400 after refill. I turned off the main knob for inspection and realized the washer was broken and there was leakage.
Long story short, I need a replacement washer and I couldn't locate in Gurgaon where I would be able to get this. I went to a hardware shop and found one which was silicon based (some sort of transparent thing). It worked for less than 5 minutes since the CO2 reacted with the material and it kind of melted. (
My plants are staying without any CO2 and I need a replacement on priority. Could you guys recommend where I should be looking?

Re: Rubber O-Ring/ Washer for the CO2 Regulator
they come in a lot of sizes so if you dont have a sample then its going to be difficult to choose the correct size.
i have used black rubber made and silicon ones both of them work perfectly, If they dont have Silicon 0 ring ask for normal black color rubber 0 rings

That would be also fine, just see it should be thick enough to fill the gap and slides tightly over the central tube.

I got the o ring from the gas agency. They had that readily available. Searched almost 20 shops (hardware/sanitary/power tools).
It looks it's a standard accessory available in the cooking gas shops. Just ask them for O ring. 2 rs each.
