    Frick O-ring



    Hello,

    I have heard that Frick has different O-ring type, depending of the type of refrigerant and oil.
    O-ring for HCFC and mineral oil are different that O-rings for HFC and esther oil.

    is it true ?
    Where can I find spec for the HFC O-rings ?

    O rings are different for different applications. Buna N and Neoprene are different options, but there are others as well.
    Durometer is another variable.
    I have found the best source is Frick itself.
    They may or may not divulge the composition of the ones they sell.

    Thanks NH3LVR...

    The problem is that when you order a gasket kit, there is only one reference....so how is it possible to get a different type of gasket ???

    I saw that on our Frick XJF 120 working with R507, the shaft seal is leaking much more early than same shaft seal mounted on XJF 120 working with R22...

    When you order are you using the sales order number? Frick shaft seals can be very problematic, but they warranty almost all of them as long as the rma is filled out properly.

    I believe that they supply different parts for the different sales order numbers, looking up the parts for each individual compressor.

    That they do NH3LVR only problem in this case is they switched refrigerants so the info related to the sales order number will still be for the old refrigerant.

    I failed to discern that from 404cab's post.
    Appreciate you catching it.
