I have a 32mm Alkahtene pipe that terminates on a one way valve on a pressure vessel.

To make the connection these is a metal Alkathene fitting .. consisting of a nut, compression Olive, space and an O ring.

The nut then screws onto the pressure vessel fitting, pulling olive tight onto pipe and spacer presses O ring into groove in the fixed half of fitting, and the O ring making the seal.

Picture here of the pipe end fittings.

The O ring is damaged .... anybody know where I can get spare O rings ... size is 3.5mm x 32mm
I estimate 3.5mm as it is different at every point I put callipers on.

The designation on the fitting is :

DVGW G.PN4 WPN10

(The DVGW tells me is is German water systems standard)

Tried local plumbing & commercial plumb centres ... all their alkathene fittings are plastic not metal ... no option to change to plastic as it has to work with existing pressure vessel.
 
Been to Plumbing Trade outlets ... no joy .. also tried screwfix, machine mart, and loads of fun Googling
I will try farming supplies.
