Greetings all -

I have a Riviera Eagle that has been restored and the owner wants to plumb it in. Unfortunately all the seals in the valve are shot and I'm having a difficult time finding replacements. I do have inquiries with Zacconi and Francesco, but no reply yet.

Here's the valve with the needed parts indicated -


Any help in finding a supplier is greatly appreciated.

FWIW, it looks like 2 of them might be standard O-rings and the 3 white ones might be found at HD or Lowes among the faucet washers or could easily be turned out of Teflon rod on a small lathe.

Thanks guys -

I'm waiting to hear from lamachina. The two O-rings on the shaft are quite small(7mm). There's a slight chance that McMaster-Carr might have something close, but would probably have to buy a bag of 25 or 50. Will be blind luck if I can find the shut-off seal. The white gaskets for the tube are not a problem, and I've already fabb'd some out of teflon sheet. Nothing is close to standard plumbing size.
