O-Ring Kits

O-ring kits bundle every seal position required for a specific piece of equipment into a single ordered package, cross-referenced to the equipment bill of materials or OEM kit reference. FITCO supplies kits in Specialty FKM and certified Pharma Silicone — covering the large majority of standard valve, pump and actuator kit requirements.

O-Ring Kits are supplied in Specialty FKM and certified Pharma Silicone only. For other specialty materials (FFKM, FEPM, HNBR AED/RGD, FVMQ, FEP/PFA encapsulated), O-Rings are available — view O-Rings →

Sizing & Standards

Applicable Standards

AS568 (SAE/US)

Inch-based standard, 369 standard sizes across dash numbers -001 to -906. The default reference standard in North America and widely cross-referenced globally.

ISO 3601-1

Metric standard defining O-ring dimensions in Series A (inch-derived) and Series B (metric-derived) size series, used extensively in European and Asian OEM equipment.

BS 1806

British Standard metric O-ring sizing, common in UK and Commonwealth-spec industrial and process equipment.

JIS B2401

Japanese Industrial Standard sizing, used in Japanese-built machinery, hydraulics and automotive equipment.

Custom / drawing-spec

Non-standard ID, cross-section or profile manufactured to customer drawing \u2014 common in legacy equipment, retrofit, and OEM-specific designs.

Engineering Reference

Common Failure Modes

Compression set

Ring permanently thins and loses contact force \u2014 the most common long-term failure mode, accelerated by heat and time under load.

Chemical swell / degradation

Wrong material for the process fluid causes softening, swelling or embrittlement \u2014 always the first check when a seal fails early.

Extrusion / nibbling

Excessive clearance gap combined with high pressure pushes the material into the gap, especially at temperature when the material softens.

Explosive decompression

Rapid pressure drop causes absorbed gas trapped in the elastomer to expand violently, blistering or rupturing the seal.

Applications

Where O-Ring Kits Are Used

Valve repair kits (gate, ball, globe, control valves)Pump seal kits (centrifugal, gear, diaphragm)Actuator and cylinder rebuild kitsProcess skid turnaround kitsCritical spares inventory for planned shutdowns
