Red Fiber Washer (gasket)

[helmfam]

Took apart my transom shower to fix a leak. There are red fiber washers where the steel shower control valve lines connect with the red and blue water supply lines. Ha anyone found a source for these washers other than the Beneteau parts site? There they are 14 cents each and $10.00 for shipping! Beneteau's part #'s are 535100 and 535300. The one in the pic is (theoretically since it has shrunk) 17mm OD x 12 mm ID. No luck at my local Ace Hardware and Amazon has some but are in a box of various sizes and it is hard to tell what you're really getting.

You can try McMaster Carr online. McMaster.com
Maybe you could replace the washer with an O-Ring or something
from the plumbing section at the hardware store.

I believe I've seen these in hardware stores. If not, something similar can be bought

Try the electric department of the hardware stores. They are often used when making metal conduit runs.

Does it need to be "fiber"? Could rubber or vinyl also do? I would think size (diameter) is more important than material. Perhaps thickness. As a last "Rube Goldberg" type solution you can always buy a piece of gasket material and make your own.
