First off I 'm a carpenter doing plumbing to save a buck for my brother-in-law on a condo rehab. Installing a Delta bath faucet with the three way quick disconnect hose and manage to nick the o ring seal on one on the connections. Any idea as to obtaining a replacement o ring for this part? I just read in another post that these o rings are not available from Delta. What can I do to replace the o ring? I will be sure to use vaseline this time..

Quick disconnect part looks like this:

The o ring is on the three (two faucets and spout) connector posts that these quick connects attach to.

I can get O-rings from Delta all day long. They are also standard O-rings in the plumbing isle in a hardware store available from Dansco.

don't use vasaline it has petrolium in it and can eat away at the rubber o ring, use plumbers grease.

I love plumbing...

Thanks! It's the little things that waste so much time: the replacement sink in the kitchen went from a single to a double bowl; the two vanities got raised to the new chic height of 36", so both needed drain extenders...should be able to drive back to the hardware store with my eyes closed..what was supposed to take 1/2 a day is pushing 2 days...then the electric water heater pressure relief valve quit and peed all over the new laminate kitchen floor...sweet!
