Value Collection ZMSCH1.5X16 O-ring 16 in Id Nitrile

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ZMSCH1.5X16 is a round cross-section O-ring manufactured from Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (Buna-N), one of the most widely used elastomers in fluid sealing applications. It measures 16 inches inside diameter, 19 inches outside diameter, and 1.5 inches thick. Rated at 70 Shore A hardness, it delivers reliable compression set resistance along with strong tear and abrasion resistance. The material is rated for service from -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a broad range of temperatures encountered in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid systems. A licensed plumber, pipefitter, or maintenance tech typically handles installation.

This O-ring is designed for static and dynamic sealing in systems that handle petroleum-based fluids, hydraulic oils, and similar media. Its large diameter makes it a common fit for flanged pipe connections, large valve seats, pump housings, and industrial equipment covers where a robust face seal or groove seal is required. It conforms to SAE and MIL-Spec standards, which broadens its suitability across commercial and light industrial applications. Buna-N material should not be stored in direct sunlight or near motors and other electrical equipment that may generate ozone, as ozone degrades the elastomer over time.

Key Features

• Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (Buna-N) construction with excellent resistance to petroleum products
• Round cross-section profile for consistent seating in standard O-ring grooves
• 70 Shore A hardness rating for a firm, reliable seal under compression
• Rated from -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F for wide operating range
• Meets SAE and MIL-Spec standards
• Sold in packages of 100 with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed for use with petroleum products and compatible fluids in flanged, grooved, or housed sealing applications requiring a 16-inch inside diameter round cross-section O-ring. Not FDA approved; not intended for direct food-contact applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified maintenance technician. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing any existing seals or disassembling flanged connections. Inspect the groove or mating surface for nicks, burrs, and contamination before seating the O-ring. Avoid exposing the ring to ozone sources, direct sunlight, or petroleum solvents during storage and handling to preserve elastomer integrity.
