Richard (or any other interested party),
I can't help but hope you are wrong (even though you probably are not) about Newell being the only source.
Just when I think I'm ready for what the seal might cost (in my mind $900-1000... which I thought was a lot), I got a price of nearly $2k.
So, experiencing this pucker factor, I can't help but google around a bit. I found this Seal Master catalog. https://pdf.directindustry.com/pdf/seal-...06-_5.html
My first guess is our seal is a type S-1 (see page 4 of catalog) with a type O-Ring fitting (see page 6 of catalog).
This may all be moot if SealMaster will only sell to certain suppliers (Newell), or you have to order a batch of them. And maybe others have found this catalog and still haven't been successful sourcing it. But I couldn't help at least running past you to see if this was any new information.
Thanks,
Alan Johnson
