V75MD438 is an AS568-438 blue Viton® (FKM) 75 Shore A O-Ring with an inside diameter of 6.225 in (158.12 mm), a cross section of 0.275 in (6.99 mm), and an outside diameter of 6.775 in (172.09 mm). In service, this o-ring creates a positive seal at flange, piston and rod interfaces without added hardware.
It resists aggressive chemicals, chlorinated solvents, and petroleum oils and fuels. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Viton® (FKM) is known for the industry benchmark where nitrile reaches its thermal limit, excellent resistance to compression set and permeation. Published continuous service range is -15°F (-26.1°C) to 400°F (204.4°C). Verify compatibility before use with low-molecular-weight organic acids or ketones and esters.
This item meets FDA requirements for food contact, carries NSF listing, and is metal detectable for HACCP and foreign-body control programs. Common environments for this compound include oil and gas, chemical processing, and automotive fuel systems.
Stocked as V75MD438 and sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 6 1/4 inch. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application. Not finding the exact configuration you need?
