Nitrile Washer
$7.00 - $12.60
Nitrile rubber is used in a wide variety of applications, such as O-rings, gaskets, oil seals, automotive transmission belts, hoses, V belts, synthetic leather, disposable non-latex gloves, printer’s form rollers and cable jacketing. It displays excellent resistance to a variety of liquids including water. The Nitrile washers we use are Durometer: 65° +/- 5° Shore ‘A’ with a temperature operating range of -20°c to +90°C. Full Data sheets are available on request.
- 1¼ Inch & 1½ Inch Nitrile Washer
or
- 2 inch Nitrile Washer
or
- Ulti-Flo Nitrile Washer
Oil-resistant sealing performance: Designed for environments where oil, fuels or lubricants may contact the washer—nitrile handles that better than many other rubber types.
Good temperature flexibility: Maintains function and seal within the typical range of feed-water or outdoor stock environments without hardening or cracking.
Reliable during dynamic pressure changes: Compresses well to form seal, returns to shape, able to handle sealing under varying pressures without rapid wear.
Cost-effective replacement: Less expensive than some specialty rubbers yet engineered to offer dependable performance in appropriate conditions.
Key part of the system’s integrity: Although small, a quality washer is critical to avoid leaks, maintain instrument reliability, and protect downstream components of the valve.
1. What is a nitrile washer, and when should it be used?
A nitrile washer is a sealing washer made from nitrile rubber (also called NBR), ideally used in systems where there may be contact with oils, diesel, greases, or petroleum-based fluids, since nitrile handles those well.
2. What are the temperature limits and durability for a nitrile washer?
Nitrile washers typically perform well between about -30 °C and +100 °C, maintaining seal integrity under pressure yet flexible enough to compress and rebound without failing quickly.
3. How does a nitrile washer compare with EPDM or other rubber washers?
Compared to EPDM, nitrile offers better resistance to oil/hydrocarbon exposure but has lower resistance to UV, ozone, and prolonged outdoor weathering. It’s more suited for oil-prone applications rather than purely outdoor exposed ones.
4. Where in the Cocky Valve system is this washer used, and why is it important?
It’s used in sealing points in the valve bodies or joint points where watertight closure is needed; ensuring reliable sealing, preventing leaks, and helping maintain consistent water pressure and flow.
