FINAL SALE - NO RETURNS. THIS IS A STANDARD CATALOGUE SIZE; CONFIRM YOUR DIMENSIONS AND MATERIAL BEFORE ORDERING.

Because standard sizes are chosen by measurement rather than by machine model, they ship as final sale. If we send the wrong item, or it arrives damaged or defective, we replace it free of charge, and that never changes.

Is a standard o-ring rolling, twisting or wearing out too fast in a moving joint? An X-ring (also called a quad ring) has four lobes and two sealing contact lines, so it runs with less friction and resists the spiral twist that kills o-rings in reciprocating and rotary service.

This Beaver Island Parts Company x-ring (quad ring) is a standard AS568-032 47.35mm ID x 1.78mm CS (1.864" x 0.070") size, molded in 75A FKM Fluorocarbon. Its outside diameter is 50.91mm (2.004").

Specifications

What It Fits

This size is used across fuel systems, engines, transmissions, chemical pumps, valves, carburetors and injectors, and high-temperature hydraulic or process equipment. If your manual, parts list or old ring calls for AS568-032 47.35mm ID x 1.78mm CS (1.864" x 0.070"), this is the part.

Why FKM Fluorocarbon

FKM holds its seal where nitrile hardens and cracks: high heat, fuel, and aggressive chemicals. Recommended for fuels (including ethanol blends), engine and gear oils, aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons, many acids, and high heat. Not recommended for ketones (acetone, MEK), hot water or steam in continuous service, Skydrol-type phosphate-ester fluids, and amines.

You Can Do This Repair

Install exactly like an o-ring in the same groove: clean, lubricate, and seat it without twisting. X-rings are dimensioned to drop into standard o-ring glands.

Pro Tip: A thin coat of Aqua Flex silicone lubricant eases installation, protects the seal on first start-up and extends its life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this fit my equipment?
A: It fits any groove or fitting that calls for a AS568-032 47.35mm ID x 1.78mm CS (1.864" x 0.070") x-ring (quad ring). Size, not brand, determines fit for standard o-rings. Measure the old o-ring's inside diameter and cross-section with calipers, or better, measure the groove, because a used ring stretches and flattens. Match the material to the fluid: the right size in the wrong rubber will still fail.

Q: What is FKM Fluorocarbon good for?
A: It is suited to fuels (including ethanol blends), engine and gear oils, aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons, many acids, and high heat. Avoid ketones (acetone, MEK), hot water or steam in continuous service, Skydrol-type phosphate-ester fluids, and amines.

Q: Can I install it myself?
A: Yes. Most o-ring replacements take only a pick tool, a clean rag and lubricant. Release pressure, drain the system if needed, remove the old ring, and follow the installation notes above. If it is your first time, take a photo before you take anything apart.

Q: When will it ship?
A: It ships from our facility in about 10 business days, then transits by the carrier service you choose.
