Sink exterior air vent cover gasket

Bellpilot · 02-02-2019, 02:58 PM

Does anyone know where to get a replacement gasket for the exterior wall sink air vent? Mine is starting to fall apart. I guess I could make one but I am getting old and lazy.

I simply used an o-ring. I measured the diameter and found one with a similar cross section on line pretty cheap. easy to install. Another idea is to use a rubber sheet about 1/8 or 3/16" thick and cut it out yourself. More work and less aesthetic than the o-ring.

any old bike tubes laying around? I’ve cut these up as gaskets before and it works well.

+1 on this. Moto tubes.

They come in different thicknesses (standard - ultra heavy duty). I'm sure the local moto repair shop has all sorts laying around ready for the trash that would be good for cutting into gaskets.

Was wondering the same thing. Mine fell apart recently.

Someone else posted this and I tried it out. Fits great.
