Pentax UK would be a good start, but failing that try Robert Dye at Medicus Maximus - http://www.medicusmaximus.com or Paul at Custom optics (I dont have their web address to hand but a quick google should do the trick).
You may be surpised at how much these little chaps cost, which explains why hospitals usually hang on to them!

Both air/ water & suction valves are available for these series scopes from Pentax medical service on 01753 792733.As Ed mentioned, they are not cheap (approx £100 each)and the 'o' rings must be in perfect condition to operate correctly. If you have any problems obtaining them, please pm me.

I would love to hear Pentax explain how they justify charging soooooo much for such a simple part!!!

Thanks to all for your advice.

I agree that these parts are expensive, prices are not set by Pentax UK but by our Japanese headquarters. We do sell o ring kits for all our valves, meaning that valves should have a very long life (7-8 years). Also, we are far from the most expensive in this field.
