Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during installation, leading to nicks or tears.Apply moderate, even pressure and use appropriate tooling if necessary to avoid damaging the O-ring.
Incorrectly selecting a lubricant that degrades the silicone material.Always consult a chemical compatibility chart to ensure the lubricant is compatible with silicone.
Installing a twisted O-ring, causing premature seal failure.Ensure the O-ring is laid flat and evenly within the groove without any twists.
