yes transco/BG guys are the best , but if you need to buy the best/quickest is BES, get a couple of 3/4" for ecv's and some 1" for the meter outlet, WATCH OUT when ordering the washers for these, dont know why but sometimes they have sent the wrong washer for the 1" ones, and obviuosly you dont know they are wron till you go to fit them, the bore is ok but the width of the washer is too big and you cant get the meter nut back down, they are only about £0.08 each

usually you will find them around or in meter boxes I have never bought one in my life

same here mate, never bought one, they are the treasure i find beneath the snails and cobwebs in the meter boxes

I think youre ment to use a new washer every time you use a disk..

 

[GQuigley67]

i think if the washer is ok then whats the point and as long as it is tight

you MUST check the washer is sound, you dont have to change the washer every time,

But it is good practice to change it. See your local SGN (Transco) guy and get a handful from him.
The bigger (wider) 1" washers are for blank caps. No use for tails.
