Hello All.
Yesterday I replaced to the 2 dump valves on our U300 and when putting the water lines back on the faucet and flush lines I noticed the seals on the lines (see below) are cracked. I tried the local Lowes and Home Depot without luck anyone have a source for these "cone" type seals.
Help much appreciated

You can usually find them at an RV or trailer place that works on RV's or you can get them online. Search for Santoprene seals. Here's a link to get you started...
Saniprene Swivel Seal, 1/2" - RVWholesalers.com RV Parts and Accessories (http://www.rvwholesalers.com/catalog/saniprene-swivel-seal-1-2.html?gclid=CI_o-93r2cECFYVlfgodEQ4Arg)
I hope that helps.

Hans, I got mine at the local Home Depot. They carry Sharkbite equipment
Richard,
I didn't have much luck with the seals that came in the Sharkbite swivels. A little background, as a side effect of my bulkhead repair and basement rebuild (had to remove the maniblock, FW & waste tanks, water heater, water pump, etc.) I replaced a lot of the Pex tubing and nearly every Pex Swivel on the coach over the course of that project. I replaced almost all of the original Sharkbite swivel seals with the beefier Santoprene seals. By not having much luck, I mean that when I turned the water on (with a regulator inline by the way), I had too many leaks to count. The most notable ones were pretty much every line on the Maniblock, and the freshwater inlet and faucet in the utility bay. I was severely disappointed with that result to say the least. I had even bought a bunch of extra Pex swivels to scavenge the seals out of to try and stop leaks on swivels that I had already crimped in place and in some cases, cut off and replaced new leaking Pex fittings and put new ones in their place with the same result. I was quite happy to find that I got a reliable seal when I replaced the original leaking black seals that came with the Sharkbite fittings with the white Santoprene seals. Besides, when I was doing my bulkhead project a year and some ago, Home Depot didn't have the Sharkbite Pex swivel seals available by themselves.

I got mine from the local ACE hardware. They matched them from the toilet plumbing seals they had in stock.
