Boutte washers

Post by Ben Briers »

I have loads of old fashioned hose pipe connectors made by Boutte. They are great but when the washers perish they are not so great. I have tried quite a few places to find the rubber washers without any luck - can anyone help?

Thanks

Ben - you do not give any location so can not be specific....
But packets of rubber washers are available from most BRICO/ DIY shops, if you look in the plumbing section small packets of 10 or so will be offered in maybe 10 or 12 different sizes... so you need to measure your old washers ( inside and outside diameters ) before visiting your depot.
Best of luck.....Paul......

You can buy all sorts of rubber washers online here: http://lebonjoint.fr/
If all else fails buy some sheet rubber and cut your own. A cheap set of wad punches make this easy.
