Others where do I find a Delrin washer?

[jv1953]

I had to replace the blow out disk on my air tank, and the replacement didn't come with the plastic (delrin?) seal. Where (in the US) might one get a few without coughing up for 200 or so?

Size ? Of the plastic (delrin?) seal

I didn't want to poison the pot by saying anything when you first posted because I wanted to see what everyone would say. Why? Because, unfotunately, I had the exact same finding and outcome. I could search and find derlin, or plastic, nylon, etc., but only in large quantities and l was never quite sure of the quality, or if it was even the right material. I wish a chatty material scientist would join HAM, that would be nice!

Anyway, I found one somewhere in my parts bins and discontinued the search, though it would be handy to know exactly what else we could order for a good price. You can always find them by calling one of the big airgun stores, but even if you get free shipping it's aways something like $5 for two little pieces of plastic. That's everything I guess.

Welcome to HAM!

Not the world's foremost expert (or even close), but know a thing or two about POM (acetal, Delrin etc) & some other engineering resins. Reach out if you have a question, worst that can happen is getting a dumb look in return.

Excellent use of a gif! That's funny right there.

...and by the way, thanks Greg, that's exactly the kind of information that I was hoping to get.
