Get An O Ring Set Online
O-ring sets are seals designed to protect diesel engines from leaks, contamination of fluids and overheating. Typically sold in multiples, O-ring sets work in tandem to create air-tight seals around fluid injection points, coolant transport locations and virtually any place that needs to seal off fuels, coolants or air sources. O-rings are made of several different types of rubber or thermoplastics. Which items you choose will depend on your engine type and serial number.
Most O-ring sets are labeled by model and maker, not by individual components. However, you can purchase these items separately, if you know what you are looking for. Individually, O-rings are sorted by several factors:
- Quality/performance
- Chemical compatibility
- Application temperature range
- Lubrication requirements
- Sealing pressure
When buying these products, you must know the limitations of your engine. For example, certain low-grade rubber types cannot withstand the high running temperature of off-highway diesel Caterpillar engines. If you use o-rings that are not designed to work at high temperatures, your seals will be almost immediately compromised and major damage can occur.
