Product Information

Full details

These 18mm ID, 24mm OD nitrile rubber O-rings are ideal for mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and engineers looking for a reliable, oil-resistant seal for cylindrical mating surfaces. They provide excellent fluid containment in pressurized environments like engines and hydraulic systems, though users should be aware that the material is not suitable for high UV exposure or specific solvents like acetone.

FAQs

Can I use these for fuel lines?

Yes, nitrile rubber is generally compatible with petroleum-based fuels and oils.

Are these suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems?

Yes, their 70A Shore hardness makes them capable of handling standard hydraulic sealing requirements.

Will these work in a water-based plumbing setup?

While they are effective, nitrile is primarily engineered for oil resistance; they will perform adequately for standard water plumbing applications.

What does 70A Shore hardness mean?

It is a measurement of the rubber's hardness. A 70A rating is considered semi-rigid, providing a good balance between flexibility for sealing and resistance to being cut or penetrated.

Can I leave these stored in my garage tool shed?

Only if the storage area is dark and free of ozone-producing motors or UV light, as these elements degrade nitrile rubber over time.

Troubleshooting

Seal is leaking under pressure

Verify the groove dimensions are correct for a 3mm cross-section and check that the mating surfaces are not pitted or damaged.

O-ring keeps pinching or rolling during installation

Apply a small amount of system-compatible lubricant to the O-ring and the groove to assist with smooth seating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to petroleum-based fluids
  • High structural integrity with 70A Shore hardness
  • Wide operating temperature range for mechanical systems
  • Reliable seal for cylindrical overlapping surfaces

Cons

  • Not suitable for outdoor use due to poor UV resistance
  • Degrades when exposed to ozone
  • Incompatible with specific chemicals like acetone and esters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a lasting seal, ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of metal burrs or debris that could nick the nitrile rubber. When installing, use a light coat of compatible lubricant to prevent the O-ring from twisting during the tightening process. Avoid stretching the ring beyond its elastic limit. Regarding care, store these rings in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or ozone-generating equipment to prevent degradation. Do not use these seals in systems carrying acetone, ketones, or esters, as these chemicals will cause the nitrile material to fail prematurely.
