1. Product Advantages
The Metric O-Ring Kit ORKIT - 5A from Forever Seals delivers targeted value for sealing tasks, with core advantages rooted in practicality and performance:
Broad Size Coverage: Includes 30 essential metric sizes and 382 total pieces, covering most common sealing needs—eliminating the need for frequent single-size purchases and ensuring you have the right O-ring on hand.
Effortless Organization: Housed in a vibrant red, durable plastic case with labeled, compartmentalized slots. Each size is clearly marked, cutting down 35% of time spent searching for parts during repairs or maintenance.
Cost & Durability Balance: Crafted from high-grade elastic rubber that resists wear, mild oils, and water. The kit’s all-in-one design reduces overall procurement costs compared to buying individual O-rings, while the material ensures long service life.
2. Working Principle
This O-ring kit relies on the classic compression sealing principle, optimized for reliability:
When installed between two mating surfaces (e.g., pipe joints, valve seats, or machinery components), the elastic rubber O-ring is compressed. It deforms to fill tiny gaps between surfaces, creating a tight barrier that blocks liquid or gas leaks. Unlike rigid seals, the rubber’s flexibility allows it to adapt to minor surface irregularities, while its structural integrity (tested to withstand 800 PSI of pressure) ensures the seal remains intact even under moderate use.
3. Product Details
Kit Inclusions: 382 O-rings (30 metric sizes), 1 red shockproof plastic case (8.5x5.2x1.8 inches, 1.2 lbs), and 1 printed size guide (attached to the case lid for quick reference).
Case Design: Features snap-lock closures to prevent O-ring spills during transport, and transparent compartment tops for easy visibility of remaining stock.
Quality Standards: Every O-ring passes ISO 9001 quality checks, with dimensional accuracy (±0.003 inches) and elasticity consistency guaranteed. The rubber material is RoHS-compliant, free from harmful substances.
4. Application Range
Designed for versatility across professional and DIY scenarios:
Industrial Use: Hydraulic/pneumatic system seals (cylinders, hoses), manufacturing machinery (conveyors, pumps), and small-scale industrial equipment.
Plumbing & Piping: Leak prevention for water supply pipes, drainage lines, and gas connections (compatible with PVC, copper, and steel pipes).
Automotive & Home DIY: Automotive cooling system seals, appliance repairs (dishwashers, washing machines), and home plumbing fixes.
5. FAQ
Q: What temperature range can these O-rings withstand?
A: The standard rubber material works reliably between -30°F to 194°F (-34°C to 90°C). For high-temperature needs (e.g., industrial ovens), contact us for custom Viton-material upgrades.
Q: If I run out of a specific size, can I order refills?
A: Yes—Forever Seals offers single-size refill packs for all 30 metric sizes in the ORKIT - 5A. Simply provide the size code (found on the case label) to our customer team.
Q: Is the case reusable for other small parts?
A: Absolutely. The sturdy plastic case is designed for long-term use; once O-rings are used up, it can store small tools, screws, or other hardware.
