Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
O-ring is twisted in the groove, leading to leakage.Ensure the O-ring is laid flat and not rotated during installation by verifying its position before mating parts are joined.
Using excessive force during installation, potentially damaging the O-ring.Gently stretch or compress the O-ring as needed, utilizing lubrication if necessary, to prevent nicks, cuts, or permanent deformation.

Common Applications
