Gaskets for plumbing fittings

Hello,
We are renovating a 2010 jayco jayflight 26bh travel trailer. We removed the sinks and the gaskets/seals look to be in bad shape(see pictures). I want to replace them but I can not find anything similar. See attachments.

The closest thing I found was these connectors at home Depot that I could steal the seals from and I'm still not sure they are an exact match. I'm actually pretty sure they are not but I'm hoping they might work anyway.

I can't seem to find the seals by themselves anywhere.

Anyone have any ideas? Should I just replace the entire fitting? Do they have sharbite versions of the fittings for easy of install?

I believe those are called "Cone Washers", and they're pretty common - especially for PEX fittings like the ones in RVs. They come in several sizes. You just have to find the one in the store that's the same size as the one you're replacing. I might suggest cutting off the elbow faucet connectors with a PEX cutter and replacing them with "Shark Bite" 1/2" x 3/8" angled shut-off valves. From there, you connect a 3/8" comp. x 1/2" FPT braided faucet line. The faucet lines are available in several lengths, and they have that cone washer built in. With shut-off valves, you can shut off the water to a particular fixture without having to shut off the water to the entire trailer.

Just my 2 cents.

All Big Box stores, Amazon or RV store will have them.

I bought these from Amazon. Most RV supply stores will have them as well. I have never been able to find them at Home Depot.

Thank you, I ordered some from there. They look different than the ones I pulled off but I think it is just because the old ones are so deformed.

Thanks for the suggestions. I like the idea of being able to turn the water off for an affected sink. I'll look into that as well.

I’ve found they are just a one time usage item. Anytime I remove a fitting I use a new gasket

I thought I had the right cone washers from a local hardware store in their mobile home section and even though they looked perfect, they wouldn't seal. I ended up going to an RV dealer, and they had a bunch of them. Bought four of them to have a couple of spares on hand.

Since this is a remodel, have you thought about using PEX instead? Widely available.
