Quad-lobe geometry gives the Style QR Buna-N Quattro Rings, -216 Size, 4 Per Pack a distinct sealing advantage over standard O-rings, reducing twisting and spiral failure in both dynamic and static applications. The four-lobed cross-section distributes sealing load across multiple contact points, which helps maintain consistent performance in reciprocating and rotary sealing environments.
Manufactured from Buna-N (nitrile) elastomer, these rings handle a temperature range of -40°F to 240°F and are well-suited for use with petroleum-based hydraulic fluids, oils, and a range of industrial fluids where nitrile compatibility is appropriate. Pressure capacity varies according to diametral clearance, consistent with standard elastomeric sealing practice. Sized at -216 dash size and sold in a pack of four, these rings are a direct replacement in groove profiles designed for quad-ring geometry.

got a groove set up for a quad ring, will this -216 quattro ring drop in or is it some oddball size
Answer by: Customer Support on Jul 31, 2025, 6:45 AM
For a groove that’s already cut for quad ring geometry, the -216 Style QR quattro ring is meant to be a direct replacement. It’s the -216 dash size and you get four rings in the pack.

these got the same groove dimensions as a standard O-ring in -216 dash size, or do I need a different groove cut for the quad-lobe profile?
Answer by: Customer Support on Jan 25, 2026, 6:02 AM
Quad rings do require a groove designed for that cross-section geometry. While the -216 dash size gives you the same nominal dimensions as an O-ring in that size, the four-lobe profile means you'll get the best sealing performance when the groove is cut to quad-ring specifications. Dropping one into an O-ring groove will often work in static applications, but for reciprocating or rotary duty you really want the groove matched to the profile to keep the lobes seated right and avoid uneven wear.

Reckon these'll hold up alright with regular hydraulic fluid?
Answer by: Customer Support on Feb 3, 2026, 6:04 PM
Buna-N material handles petroleum-based hydraulic fluids just fine, so you shouldn't have any problems there.
