Some new gaskets have a similar piece in it these days. That being said, if you're handy it's a very simple DIY, Old one slips out new one in with maybe a bit of lube to make is easier to slide in. $25-$30 on (where else) Amazon.

This kind of stuff: Pipe Insulation at Lowes

Or a new gasket with it already built in: Amazon.com

You can also call a couple dealers and they would likely provide exact costs like ROMAC or ASAP or many others.

I bought the 16 footer from Amazon with the tube inside. It's definitely a 2 person job to get the new one on. The rubber? Is pretty flimsy so don't even bother to put a screw in at the ends.
