You need to decide what elastomer is proper for your application, eg., Nitrile, FKM (DuPont Viton), Silicone etc. Call a Parker o-ring distributor or go their web site, http://www.parker.com, they will have a distributor finder in the or-ring division's site. I use Staver Hydraulics, http://www.staverhydraulics.com, but use whomever you are confortable with. Upvote 0 Downvote
