The Problem: Locating Parts
Locating replacement parts for
equipment, maintenance, overhaul and
repair can be a challenge. Seals in
hydraulic and pnuematic components
have the potential for hundreds, if not
thousands, of different o-ring sizes.
OEM part numbers are often missing,
seal dimensions are unspecified or
unknown, and the parts themselves are
unavailable from the OEM or local
supplier.
The Solution: Parker O-Ring Kits
In response to the aftermarket need for
seals, Parker has developed three o-ring
replacement kits. Each kit
contains the most popular sizes for a
wide range of sealing applications. As
a result, these kits provide multiple
sealing solutions for the same cost as a
single OEM replacement part.
The Parker Boss Seal Kit contains 20
standard tube fitting sizes, ranging from
3/32 to 2 inches, that are ideal for
hydraulic fittings. For most U.S.-built
equipment, Parker AS568 Kit #1
contains 30 of the most commonly-used
o-ring sizes for general applications.
The rest of the world relies on Parker
Metric Kit #1, which contains 32 of the
most common metric o-ring sizes for
compatibility with equipment made
overseas.
