corny keg O-ring sizes

Post by haggis51 » Wed Oct 15, 2014 8:26 am

Trying to find the correct sizes of all the O-rings needed for corny kegs. I managed to find BS1806, BS4518 & AS568A sizes from various sites but they don't exactly match each other. Where do you guys get yours from? What is the best type and sizes to go for, i.e. BS1806 or 4518 and what is the best material, i.e. silicone? I also need a few replaceable feet for the lid catch. I bought something close on e-bay but they were not quite the right size and far too soft in material to do the job properly. Any help please?
