Frequently asked questions
Does this O-Ring handle harsh sterilization environments well?
Yes, this O-Ring is specifically engineered for durability in high-intensity environments. It is constructed from Viton (FKM), a synthetic rubber renowned for its superior resistance to:
- High temperatures typical of sterilization cycles.
- Chemical degradation from cleaning and processing agents.
- Mechanical wear, featuring a 75 Duro hardness rating for consistent sealing integrity.
Is this a direct replacement for my STERRAD 100S system?
Absolutely. The RPI RXO080 is designed as a direct, high-quality replacement component specifically for STERRAD 100S Bulk Sterilizers and Endoscope Processing Systems. It is engineered to meet the exact specifications required for these systems to ensure seamless maintenance.
Does the package come with enough rings for maintenance?
Each retail package includes three individual O-Rings. This quantity is ideal for ensuring you have adequate supply on hand for scheduled maintenance or immediate replacement needs within your sterilization assembly.
Will this fit the 25KF Centering Ring assembly?
Yes, this part is precision-engineered specifically to fit the 25KF Centering Ring component. You can rely on its design to maintain proper function and seal integrity within that specific assembly.
What are the exact dimensions of this seal?
This O-Ring is manufactured to precise industrial standards for a reliable fit. Its specifications are:
- Inner Diameter (ID): 28mm (1.020”)
- Outer Diameter (OD): 38mm (1.496”)
- Cross Section (C/S): 5mm (.197”)
Is this a factory-new component?
Yes, this is a Factory New product. By choosing RPI replacement parts, you are ensuring that your sterilization equipment is maintained with components that meet rigorous performance and quality standards.
Why is Viton material preferred for this application?
Viton (FKM) is a high-performance elastomer selected for this O-Ring because of its extreme reliability in harsh settings. It offers:
- Temperature Stability: Maintains shape and seal under the thermal cycling of sterilization.
- Chemical Resistance: Resists breakdown from the aggressive chemicals often used in medical processing equipment.
- Longevity: Helps prevent premature seal failure, reducing the frequency of maintenance shutdowns.
Can I use this for non-sterilizer equipment?
This O-Ring is specifically engineered for Bulk Sterilizers and Endoscope Processing Systems, particularly the STERRAD 100S. Because sealing integrity is critical in medical sterilization, we recommend using this part only in the equipment it was explicitly designed for to ensure safety and performance compliance.
Is the material quality high enough for daily use?
Yes. With a 75 Duro hardness rating, the material is specifically chosen for industrial-grade performance. It is dense, durable, and designed to withstand the stress of daily cycles in professional medical processing environments.
What should I look for to know if I need a replacement?
You should consider replacing your O-Ring if you notice signs of degradation, such as:
- Visible cracking or brittleness of the rubber.
- Loss of elasticity (the ring no longer springs back to its original shape).
- Sealing failure, such as inconsistent pressure readings or leaks within the 25KF Centering Ring assembly.
Regularly scheduled replacement with these high-quality RPI parts can help prevent unexpected downtime.
