Key specifications

Available sizes

Model codes are the Seagull size codes (BS 1806 size numbers with a V for Viton); the SKU is the part number.

Selecting the right option

O-rings are specified by inside diameter and cross-section. In this series the model code (BS425V to BS475V) is the BS 1806 size number, which fixes both dimensions, so if you know the BS number you can go straight to it in the options list.

If you only have the ring or the groove, measure the inside diameter and the cross-section of an unused ring and match them to the sizes table. A ring with the right inside diameter but the wrong cross-section will not seal correctly.

Viton (FKM) is chosen where NBR is not suited to the fluid or the operating conditions. It is not suited to every fluid, so check the compound against your fluid before ordering.

Fitting and use

Check the ring is the right size for the groove, keep it clean, and lubricate it lightly with a lubricant compatible with the compound before fitting.

Slide the ring over threads, keyways, splines and sharp edges using a sleeve, tape or a lead-in chamfer so it cannot be cut, and avoid twisting or rolling it into place.

Do not over-stretch the ring to fit, and replace O-rings when a joint is stripped down rather than reusing them.
