Tubenit makes his own out of - I think - those silicone pot holders you get in grocery stores.

Silicon damper rings ...........

have you considered a visit to your retailer of plumbing material ?

silicon "O" rings are in two versions, black for normal purpose, red for High Temperature purpose

the price will be considerably lower

see this italian seller that sell it for less than € 0.50 each
