About 5079601-Box Adapt Oval Convex Ring 7/8 X 1 1/2 (22 X 38mm)
What is 5079601-Box Adapt Oval Convex Ring 7/8 X 1 1/2 (22 X 38mm)?
The 5079601-Box Adapt Oval Convex Ring 7/8 X 1 1/2 (22 X 38mm) is a high-precision, oval-shaped convex ring used to adapt tubing or conduit in compact medical assemblies. Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel, the part provides a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface that maintains seal integrity under repeated sterilization cycles. Its 7/8-inch by 1.5-inch (22 mm × 38 mm) footprint fits tightly into standard housing cavities, delivering reliable fluid direction without adding bulk.
Key features
- Material — medical-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
- Dimensions — 7/8-inch by 1.5-inch (22 mm × 38 mm) oval profile.
- Tolerance — ±0.02 mm machining tolerance ensures precise fit.
- Finish — polished interior surface reduces friction and wear.
- Compatibility — matches standard 7/8-inch tubing and sensor housings.
- Sterilization — autoclave-ready, survives repeated sterilization cycles.
Together these attributes deliver a robust, low-maintenance component that meets stringent medical-device standards.
Who is 5079601-Box Adapt Oval Convex Ring 7/8 X 1 1/2 (22 X 38mm) for?
This convex ring is ideal for biomedical engineers, device manufacturers, and repair technicians who need a dependable adapter in insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors, or miniature infusion systems. Its compact size makes it suitable for prototypes as well as high-volume production runs where dimensional consistency is critical.
How does 5079601-Box Adapt Oval Convex Ring 7/8 X 1 1/2 (22 X 38mm) compare?
Compared with generic plastic adapters, this stainless-steel convex ring provides far greater durability, tighter dimensional tolerances, and resistance to high-temperature sterilization. While polymer rings are cheaper, they can warp under autoclave cycles and may not meet strict medical-device compliance, making the metal version the preferred choice for long-term, high-risk applications. Installation is straightforward: the ring slides into the designated cavity, and a standard O-ring can be seated in the recessed groove to complete the seal. The component complies with ISO 13485 and USP Class VI biocompatibility standards, providing a certificate of conformity for regulated environments. Though the upfront cost is higher than low-grade alternatives, the reliability and compliance justify the investment. Routine cleaning with mild detergent and a soft cloth restores the surface, and the part tolerates repeated autoclave cycles without degradation.
Best use cases
- →Adapter in insulin pump tubing assemblies.
- →Housing component for continuous glucose monitors.
- →Miniature infusion system conduit connector.
- →Prototype fixture for medical device R&D.
Is Adapt Oval Convex Ring 7/8 X 1 1/2 (22 X 38mm) right for you?
The Adapt Oval Convex Ring is best suited for biomedical engineers, device manufacturers, and experienced repair technicians who need a reliable, stainless-steel adapter for compact medical equipment. Its precise dimensions demand careful handling, so a moderate skill level in assembly is recommended. If budget constraints are paramount, consider standard polymer rings, but expect reduced durability and sterilization tolerance. For applications requiring non-metallic parts, a high-performance PEEK adapter may serve as an alternative.
How it compares: Compared with generic plastic adapters, this stainless-steel convex ring provides far greater durability, tighter dimensional tolerances, and resistance to high-temperature sterilization. While polymer rings are cheaper, they can warp under autoclave cycles and may not meet strict medical-device compliance, making the metal version the preferred choice for long-term, high-risk applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What material is the Adapt Oval Convex Ring made from?
▾
The ring is machined from medical-grade stainless steel, which offers excellent corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and the ability to withstand repeated autoclave sterilization without losing dimensional integrity. The alloy conforms to ISO 13485 manufacturing standards and USP Class VI biocompatibility requirements, making it suitable for direct contact with medical fluids. Its polished interior surface reduces friction, extending the lifespan of connected tubing.
Does the ring fit standard 7/8-inch tubing?
▾
Yes, the convex ring is sized to accommodate standard 7/8-inch (22 mm) tubing commonly used in insulin pumps and glucose monitoring devices. Its oval profile provides a snug fit while leaving enough clearance for an O-ring seal, ensuring a leak-free connection in compact housings.
How is the ring installed in a device?
▾
Installation involves sliding the ring into the designated cavity of the device housing, ensuring the recessed groove aligns with the tubing path. A standard O-ring is then placed in the groove before inserting the tubing, creating a sealed channel. The process requires careful alignment but no special tools beyond a clean work surface.
Is the ring compatible with high-temperature sterilization?
▾
The stainless-steel construction is rated for autoclave cycles up to 121 °C, allowing it to endure repeated high-temperature sterilization without warping or losing its dimensional accuracy. This makes the part suitable for reusable medical devices that require stringent cleaning protocols.
Can the ring be used in non-medical applications?
▾
While the ring meets medical-device standards, its robust stainless-steel build and precise dimensions also make it suitable for industrial fluid-routing systems, laboratory equipment, or any compact conduit where corrosion resistance and high-temperature tolerance are required. However, users should verify compatibility with any non-medical regulatory specifications.
