Whatever you end up replacing it with, make sure that there isn't any O-Ring showing in the gap when the cap is screwed down, or it may get pushed out by the pressure. I wanted to have extras on hand in addition to the three that came with my filter. The closest replacement I had was off by a small amount for a similar filter - same ID but with a slightly larger thickness than the original. When the cap was screwed down as tight as I could get it by hand, you could see the O-Ring through the gap. In testing under pressure, about a 3/4" long length of O-Ring squirted out of the very small gap at about 2000 psi and started slowly leaking. I have a flip top bin full of many different sizes of metric and inch O-Rings and none of them were the right size so I will have to find a different replacement for this filter.

You need the ID and the cross section, divide the ID by .039375 will give you the mm's.
Do you have some calipers? Preferably digital with metric? Harbor freight is your friend. From there either Capt. O-ring or eBay, among others.
