Replacement Washers for CO2 Regulator

[stujo]

Hi - haven't posted for a while as things have been going pretty well (tempting fate here). Could somebody please advise where I can get a replacement "main" washer i.e. the large one between the regulator and FE. I have used the existing one for a few changes now and would like to renew it. Also if I'm asking around at stores what is it actually called e.g. "main washer for regulator" or.............???

This is the regulator I have which I know is quite popular on here and I also think it's excellent

The German supplier does do replacement washers i.e.

(it is the large one/s I need) as I ordered a spare set when I bought the regulator, but it would be nice to find a local UK outlet e.g. DIY store as it seems a lot of work on the German supplier to place an order just for a couple of washers - many thanks guys

the washer should last years mate, a lot of regs dont even have them. No need to change it regularly unless there is a leak.

thanks for quick reply Iain. I haven't had a leak as yet but have seen posts where it says the nitrile washer should be replaced each time the FE is changed. As I seem to get through a 2kg FE every two months or so I was just thinking ahead!! I do a soap test each time to check for leaks, so I'll carry on until I see signs of any leakage. In fact I have just searched ebay and it looks like I can get them there if necessary - thanks again
