Part number VQ4042 is an AS568-042 black Viton® (FKM) 75 Shore A quad profile Quad-Ring supplied with an inside diameter of 3.239 in (82.27 mm), a cross section of 0.07 in (1.78 mm), and an outside diameter of 3.379 in (85.83 mm). A quad-ring uses a four-lobed profile to create two sealing surfaces per side, reducing the squeeze needed to seal.
As a material, Viton® (FKM) is widely chosen for outstanding high-temperature capability and the industry benchmark where nitrile reaches its thermal limit. The compound resists engine and transmission fluids, many acids, and petroleum oils and fuels. Published continuous service range is -15°F (-26.1°C) to 400°F (204.4°C).
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across oil and gas, high-temperature process equipment, and chemical processing.
