Performance advantages of the X-Rings versus the O-Rings
X-Rings or Quad-Rings, the seals with the most support The O-Ring, the simplest, most versatile and economical option on the market, is a circular seal that can be used in almost any application in any industry that requires a water-tightness guarantee.

The correct measurement, material, hardness, the temperature it will be...
