York 028-12961-017 O Ring

For technicians and HVAC contractors maintaining York chiller systems, the York 028-12961-017 O-Ring is a critical OEM replacement component for ensuring airtight and leak-proof connections. This HVAC compressor seal is specifically engineered to handle the high static and dynamic pressures found in industrial refrigeration equipment. Manufactured from a high-quality elastomer—typically a resilient neoprene or nitrile compound—this York replacement seal offers superior resistance to refrigerants, compressor oils, and extreme thermal cycling. Its precision-molded cross-section ensures a reliable face-seal on tube fittings and valve assemblies, preventing the micro-leaks that lead to system inefficiency or refrigerant loss. Whether you are performing routine chiller maintenance or an emergency compressor overhaul, using a genuine York 028-12961-017 ensures exact dimensional fit and material compatibility with factory specifications, helping you avoid the failures often associated with generic aftermarket gaskets.

Key Benefits:

• OEM Precision: Guaranteed compatibility with York chiller parts and 13/16-16 face-seal tube fittings.
• Chemical Resistance: Designed to withstand prolonged exposure to HVAC refrigeration oil and various refrigerant blends without degradation.
• Thermal Stability: maintains elasticity and sealing force across the wide temperature fluctuations typical of refrigeration cycles.
• Leak Prevention: High-durometer material prevents extrusion and maintains a secure seal in high-pressure York HVAC systems.

Common Questions:

What is the primary application for the 028-12961-017 O-ring?
This seal is commonly used in York centrifugal and screw chillers for sealing valve assemblies, face-seal fittings, and compressor housing joints.

Can I use a standard universal O-ring instead of the OEM 028-12961-017?
Standard O-rings often lack the specific chemical resistance and high-durometer rating required for refrigerant applications. Using a genuine York 028-12961-017 O-ring prevents premature failure and potential system contamination.

How often should these seals be replaced during chiller service?
Seals should be inspected during every teardown and replaced if they exhibit flattening, cracking, or hardening to ensure continued system efficiency.
