More washer woes

[alorino]

Hi all,
I have an old gravity works style archival print washer. Usually with those washers, you have a hose clamp that helps regulate pressure. Our clamp has broken and I'm having trouble finding a replacement part. Right now we are using a clamp that is getting pretty rusty Does anyone have suggestions for a way to find a replacement or a makeshift fix that won't rust.
Thanks

You can get plastic clamps from the hardware store.

Perfect! Last time I went I didn't see those. I'll have to order some!

alorino,

I installed a plastic ball valve on my print washer that I picked up at a hardware store. Similar to this one at Home Depot.

That looks like a great solution.
Thanks!
