The AqMatic ORE-029 is an EPDM O-ring used in diaphragm valve assemblies and internal rebuild kits for water treatment, filtration, and industrial flow control systems. It functions as a sealing component within the valve assembly, helping maintain pressure integrity between internal chambers during valve cycling.
This configuration uses EPDM elastomer, which is commonly selected for water treatment applications because of its resistance to water, ozone, and many treatment chemicals. EPDM sealing components are frequently used where Buna materials are not preferred due to environmental or chemical compatibility requirements.
The ORE-029 specification corresponds to a specific O-ring size and groove profile used within AqMatic valve assemblies, including larger diaphragm valve configurations. Proper O-ring fit is critical because diaphragm valve operation depends on maintaining separation between pilot and flow chambers. Incorrect sizing can lead to pressure loss, inconsistent actuation, or internal leakage.
This component is commonly replaced during rebuilds alongside diaphragms, springs, and internal hardware in systems using V42 diaphragm valves, K53 series valves, and automated sequencing systems controlled through stagers.
