Boiler fibre washers.

[TBServices]

So I've noticed that the fibre washers supplied with the logic are PANTS. Far too soft and don't seem to last. I've had to replace a few with regin ones which seem much better.

Does anyone know of any decent 3/4 and 1/2 inch fibre washers that can be bought pretty cheaply in bulk?

While we're on the subject, why are we still using fibre washers over rubber?

Thanks, Tom.

Too many poor rubber ones. With logic I use the ones you buy from plum fix in bulk for about £2. Smear a bit of jet blue on male threads under boiler and that seems to do it for me.

They need a touch of paste when installing.
Don't know what's wrong with them as they don't leak at first, they seem to drip after a year or so.

Glad I'm not on my own in seeing this issue.

Will have a look in my Plumbfix catalogue

Let me know if you find a supplier. I could use a few 1/2 and 3/4 for my spares kit

I've bought them from euro boiler spares, they also do the large (1 1/4"?) ones for the gianoni diverter valves.

Europarts do the 1/2 and 3/4 ones.
