VQ4222 is an AS568-222 black Viton® (FKM) 75 Shore A Quad-Ring with an inside diameter of 1.484 in (37.69 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 1.762 in (44.75 mm). In service, this quad-ring uses a four-lobed profile to create two sealing surfaces per side, reducing the squeeze needed to seal.
Viton® (FKM) is known for excellent resistance to compression set and permeation, outstanding high-temperature capability. Expect good resistance to engine and transmission fluids, many acids, and aromatic hydrocarbons. The material carries a published service range of -15°F (-26.1°C) to 400°F (204.4°C). It should not be specified for service in ketones and esters or amines. The profile itself contributes lower compressive load required to achieve a seal and resistance to the spiral twisting that defeats round-section rings.
You will find this material specified across automotive fuel systems, aerospace, and oil and gas.
Reference part number VQ4222 when ordering; the item is sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 1 1/2 inch. Confirm chemical compatibility, pressure and temperature against your own application requirements before installing.
