Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mating groove is clean, free of debris, and properly lubricated with a compatible lubricant. 2. Carefully stretch the O-ring over the shaft or into the groove, avoiding excessive force or sharp tools that could nick or cut the material. 3. Seat the O-ring fully into the groove, ensuring it is not twisted or kinked, which can compromise the seal's integrity.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during installation, leading to nicks or tears in the O-ring.Apply a thin layer of compatible lubricant to the O-ring and groove, and gently stretch or roll the O-ring into place, using hand pressure only.
Installing a twisted or kinked O-ring, which prevents proper sealing.Visually inspect the O-ring before installation to ensure it is flat and undistorted, and confirm it is properly seated in the groove without any twists.
