*568-242 METAL DETECTABLE RED

Item S70MD242 is a Silicone 70A Metal-Detectable O-Ring built for food processing, packaging, washdown and detectable sealing applications where material selection is critical. The item is specified by AS568-242; 3.984 inch (101.19 mm) ID x 0.139 inch (3.53 mm) CS; 4.262 inch (108.25 mm) OD, with 4 inch nominal ID; 1/8 inch nominal CS for cross-reference against common gland and replacement dimensions. The Silicone compound is selected for flexibility across broad temperature swings and clean sealing applications that require a soft, compliant elastomer. It is with a listed temperature range of -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232°C), which can help narrow material selection for heat, cold or process exposure. The red color and round profile provide a practical visual identifier during receiving, stocking and installation. This category is commonly specified for processing environments, packaging equipment and washdown areas where seal identification matters. The each-unit format supports precise replacement, kitting, resale and job-specific purchasing. Its metal-detectable formulation supports detectable sealing applications where lost-part risk management is part of the specification. Key selection details include material, hardness, product type, cross-section, inside diameter, outside diameter and application. These specification details help customers and resellers compare the part by performance requirements rather than brand name alone.
