O-Ring (Bauer Type “B” Style)

Price range: $5.09 through $18.21

NOTE: The O-rings for the Bauer fittings are listed by the inside diameter of the hose. NOT by the dimensions of the O-ring.

Bauer Type “B” Style O-Rings seat securely in socket with no leakage. Increase pump performance by providing excellent vacuum sealing. This vacuum sealing O-ring helps pumps prime faster and perform at their designed flow rates with no leaks, even at high pressure ratings.

An O-Ring (Bauer Type “B” Style) is a sealing ring designed for use in Bauer-style couplings, commonly used in agricultural and industrial irrigation systems. These couplings connect pipes or hoses securely and create a watertight seal to prevent leaks. The O-ring is critical for ensuring the coupling’s effectiveness and maintaining system integrity.

Features of the Bauer Type “B” Style O-Ring:

  1. Material: Typically made from durable rubber or elastomer compounds to withstand water, chemicals, and environmental wear.
  2. Design: Fits into the Bauer coupling groove, ensuring a tight seal when the couplings are locked together.
  3. Applications: Commonly used in medium- to high-pressure irrigation setups, slurry handling, or industrial liquid transport systems.

Difference Between Type “A” and Type “B” Styles:

Feature Type “A” O-Ring Type “B” O-Ring
Shape & Size Different diameter and cross-sectional profile designed for Type A couplings. Slightly different dimensions tailored to Type B couplings.
Compatibility Specifically designed for Type “A” Bauer couplings. Exclusively used for Type “B” Bauer couplings.
Seal Functionality Provides a secure seal for lower or standard-pressure applications. Engineered for higher-pressure and heavy-duty use cases.
Material Differences May use slightly less robust materials if intended for less demanding conditions. Typically made from tougher compounds to handle greater stress and pressure.

Key Considerations:

  • Interchangeability: Type “A” and Type “B” O-rings are not interchangeable due to differences in size, fit, and pressure ratings. Always use the correct O-ring style for the corresponding coupling type.
  • Maintenance: Regularly inspect for cracks, deformation, or wear, as a compromised O-ring can lead to leaks and decreased efficiency.
  • Replacement: Ensure replacements are sourced specifically for the coupling type and size to maintain system integrity.

Applications:

  • Type “B” is often used in more demanding environments requiring robust sealing, such as high-pressure irrigation systems or slurry transport.
  • Type “A” may be sufficient for less intense applications, offering a more cost-effective solution for standard operations.
