The E3X18 is a black EPDM (EPR) 70 Shore A O-Ring measuring an inside diameter of 18 mm (0.709 in), a cross section of 3 mm (0.118 in), and an outside diameter of 24 mm (0.94 in). This o-ring creates a positive seal at flange, piston and rod interfaces without added hardware.
Expect good resistance to water and steam, ketones, and phosphate ester hydraulic fluids. That behavior comes from the compound itself: EPDM (EPR) is widely chosen for strong performance in outdoor and exposed installations, very good flexibility at low temperature. Published continuous service range is -65°F (-53.9°C) to 300°F (148.9°C). It is not the right choice where mineral oil-based lubricants or aromatic hydrocarbons are present.
Common environments for this compound include HVAC and refrigeration, brake and phosphate ester systems, and potable water applications.
E3X18 ships individually. Review your operating media and conditions against this specification before installation. APG can cross-reference from an existing part number, a drawing or a physical sample if this size is not an exact match.
