I want to purchase high quality oring sets for face seal, SAE, dash sizes in Viton. Where should I look? Is there a supplier that offers competitive deals which maintains the quality? Many of these o rings come from China. The buyers determine the quality.
Captain O-Ring sells kits in both Viton and Buna-N. I've been using their ORB Buna-N kit for a couple years. I originally found them trying to source some weird o-rings for pool plumbing.
Hercules Sealing Products. Yea, pretty much whoever you buy from will be supplying imported o rings.
I think the gates orings are still made here, but the coo on them is listed - USA (primary). so I'm not even sure about them.

My go to kit at the shop is Eaton. Has everything I need most of the time.
What kit do you have from them? These are the last kits I bought. O-Ring Kit for ORB, ORF, and Flange Fittings: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific O-Ring Kit for ORB, ORF, and Flange Fittings: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific www.amazon.com
I bought that same kit and have replaced every ORBS oring on any fitting I’ve taken apart and no problems so far.
We've got a couple of those. This is the one I like. I just get the company that manages our shop supply inventory to keep the kit stocked to the top. I can clean out the -6 and -8 ORFS slots in 2 weeks depending on what jobs come in the door. https://www.hydraulic-supply.com/ff16087-01.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqfRXTq3Be_Q8uCvOe74-V4_etaFjg_QxYbvUvtlhgSlmAEyl9Z
I've had the kit in post #6 for ages. This one Is there such a thing as a BSPP Oring kit (not bonded seal/ dowty)? If I put an SAE 12 Oring on a BSPP fitting, they always seep/ leak.
The ones with a metal ring/ washer and a oring?

Thanks for the replies. I like the Parker o rings. The local Parker supplier prices everything they sell at Aerospace levels.
Malone Specialty has the largest assortment of kits I've found. They have BSPP bonded seal kits. They are also the only place I've found a kit for the metric version of BOSS oring kits. They are ISO 6149, also called "metric port and stud ends". The one I've had trouble with used a smaller o-ring than the equivalent size of BOSS oring would use.
Question, will Malone have Case orings? For some reason, none of my kits match up to the Case valve o-rings, so have to buy them from Case and they are very proud of them.
