VQ4458 is an AS568-458 black Viton® (FKM) 75 Shore A quad profile Quad-Ring built to an inside diameter of 14.475 in (367.67 mm), a cross section of 0.275 in (6.99 mm), and an outside diameter of 15.025 in (381.64 mm). In service, this quad-ring delivers lower friction and better sealing stability than a comparable round-section o-ring.
Viton® (FKM) is specified here for long service life in hot, chemically aggressive environments and very low compression set at elevated temperature. The compound resists aromatic hydrocarbons, engine and transmission fluids, and aggressive chemicals. Continuous operating temperature is published at -15°F (-26.1°C) to 400°F (204.4°C). Applications involving hot water and steam or amines call for a different compound.
Common environments for this compound include semiconductor equipment, oil and gas, and automotive fuel systems.
Order part number VQ4458, sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 14 1/2. Review your operating media and conditions against this specification before installation. For a size or compound outside the standard catalog, APG can quote from a print or sample.
