Air Venturi Washer/Oring question - Avenge-X PowerPlenum

[frosterrj]

need to put a new washer/o-ring for the PowerPlenum and it looks like there are 2 different types of brass/metal washers with rubber in the center hole. What are these things called and where can I find them? Looks like the ones i need are the thinner variant.

If anyone has experience with the avenge-x and the powerplenum and having trouble getting it to seal, please let me know how you solved this.

Sounds like you are describing a bonded seal washer, sometimes referred to as a Dowty washer.

Thanks! Exactly the thing. Now, what size goes between the Regulator manometer and gun body to make it seal???? Tried calling Air Venturi but it goes straight to voice mail for call back.....

Can you measure it with a caliper? I've got a BUNCH of dowty seals/bonded washers. If I have the correct size I'll send you a couple. Measure inner & outer diameter. If you DON'T have caliper, get one! You'll absolutely need one sooner or later.

I ended up just ordering a DOWTY SEAL kit similar to this one for my BRK Ghost except mine was for bsp thread, and the avenge-x looks to use M8 thread.

I ended up with TONs of sizes I don't need but trying to order the specific size I needed was going to cost more for one than I paid for the whole kit...

Like @Gerry52 mentioned a decent caliper will likely be useful.

BTW, if you have an assortment of O-rings and metal washers, it’s pretty easy to improvise a Dowty seal.

O-ring slightly thicker than the washer. Drill or file the washer so it hugs the O-ring. Done.
