Yamada 684122 O-Ring, Buna-N for NDP-50
The Yamada 684122 is the factory o-ring specified for NDP-50 Series pumps and AD-50 dampeners. It seals one of the joints inside the pump, and because it costs almost nothing next to the downtime a leak causes, it is the kind of part worth replacing on sight rather than on schedule.
Getting the material right matters as much as getting the size right. The elastomer has to be compatible with what the pump is moving, because a seal attacked by the fluid swells, softens and extrudes out of its groove, and an incompatible ring can fail within hours rather than months. Check what the pump is actually handling before ordering, not what it handled when it was installed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is a sleeve O-ring different from a body O-ring?
Functionally it is the same static seal, but the ones on the air valve sleeve see constant reversing pressure and a lot of cycles, so they are usually the first to go and are worth replacing whenever the air valve is stripped.
Q: Can I reuse the old O-ring if it looks fine?
It is a false economy. A ring that has been compressed for months has taken a set in the shape of its groove and no longer springs back against the sealing faces. It will often pass a dry test and then weep once the pump is running under pressure.
Q: How do I stop damaging the new ring during assembly?
Use a plastic or brass pick to remove the old one, clean the groove so no grit is trapped under the new ring, and lubricate it lightly with something compatible with the fluid before closing the joint. Most premature failures are assembly damage, not material failure.
Q: Does the durometer number matter?
Yes. Hardness sets how far the ring deflects under a given squeeze. A softer ring in a groove designed for a harder one extrudes into the gap and nibbles away at the edge; a harder one in a soft ring groove may not fill the groove at all.
