O-ring for my riptide pump. I was hoping to brew this weekend after a blown element and SSR last week. I have to see if I can get one of the backup pumps installed. I will have 3 spares once my order comes in.
When that $1 parts takes you out...

I wouldn't have known until it was too late. As in the day my pump decided to seize mid brew.

I was running hot PBW through it and noticed a drip ... drip .. drip. Tightened the tri-clamp up and nothing. Then I took the clamp off and the pieces fell out.
I took 3 other pumps apart hoping the o-ring would be the same size... they were not!

No. One LHBS that would order it but I can do that myself. I searched to find a size because I would have gone to Grainger but no luck. So instead of brewing I will run wire for a new mini-split AC. Probably a better use of my time.
