Title: Does anyone know part number for the petcock rebuild gasket?

I have a v65 tank with 16mm x 1mm petcocks, does anyone have the part number for the rebuild gasket?  Thanks 🙏

I don't know that there is a part number. Perhaps it's one of these?

I'll have to look it up, but there is someone here that had gnomes manufacture the gaskets- at least for loop frame petcocks.  Name escapes me at the moment, but a really good fellow to deal with. 
Yes, gnomes, that's not a typo.  Damn good ones too.

Bruce Giller is the guy with the hard working knomes, that make petcock gaskets. I put a pair in my eldo's sugarcubes, about 12 years ago,and they work excellent. Bruce makes them out of Viton.

Here is all the gasket numbers anyone could ever need ... except head and exaust gaskets .   

Form-a-gasket Ultra Gray.     You put a thick film on both sides ... wait 10 minutes , put the two pieces together finger tight ... wait 30 minutes , then tighten to your spec.     

Never leak , made to fit , and easy as can be !   :smiley:

Don't make the "Thick Film" thick enough to squeeze out too much , but just a little .  The putting together finger (lightly)  tight and waiting is the most important part  ... you can wait a whole day before drawing it tight  if you want a "thick" gasket.
