O-Ring Spec for R58 Steam Tip?

[Stevie-heathie]

The o-ring on my R58’s steam tip has let go, I assume they are available for buttons on eBay etc. Anybody know the spec please?

Hello? I Promise it I already googled it and searched on these forums and drew a blank . . .

Hi, same here, I bought o-rings from all over but none of them could stand the heat generated from the steam arm.

Give Bella Batista a call I'm sure they will have one or can give you the details you need as they are Rocket stockists

Rubber is no good - silicone o-rings are necessary.

Did this ever get resolved? If so how, might be useful info for others if having the same problem.

I’ll speak with BB and post the solution in due course . . .

BB were superb as ever, they sent me a new o-ring free of charge! It’s a bog standard o-ring, external diameter 8mm (internal 7mm) and you can find them on eBay if you should ever need one. Not sure if it’s rubber or silicone but I agree silicone would last longer.
