Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong lubricant, which can degrade Viton.Consult the O-ring manufacturer's specifications for a compatible lubricant, typically silicone-based or fluorinated greases for Viton.
Overtightening fasteners, which can crush the O-ring and lead to premature failure.Follow torque specifications precisely, using a calibrated torque wrench to avoid excessive compression.

Common Applications

  • Chemical Processing
  • Automotive Fuel Systems
  • Aerospace Hydraulic Systems
  • High-Temperature Pumps and Valves

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Verify chemical compatibility with the specific fluid or gas being sealed.
  • Avoid exposure to prolonged high-pressure steam or certain strong bases, which can degrade Viton.
