Anyone know where to obtain a packing washer for Standard (American Standard?) brand kitchen (25-50 years old) faucet?
See attached images of partially disassebled faucet and close up of left hand valve.
The left side handle was leaking water. I disassembled, unfroze the washer and some of the packing washer crumbled off, i cleaned everything up, reassembled, and water leak from left handle is considerably worse now.
I know of two options:
A) replace the packing washer
B) replace the faucet
I'm having no luck locating a replacement packing washer online. Maybe i just don't know the magic keywords to search for. O.D. appears to be close to 1".
Replacing the faucet looks to be a large PIA, as the retaining nuts under the sink do not want to come loose, and likely will have to either pull the sink for more leverage, or drill/break the retaining nuts from underneath.
Hoping someone has some idea where i could get a replacement packing washer. Would make life much easier to replace the packing washer.
