Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible lubricants that degrade Viton.Always use lubricants specifically recommended for Viton fluoroelastomers and the application's chemical environment.
Over-stretching or twisting the O-ring during installation.Install the O-ring with minimal tension and ensure it is not twisted in the groove; a slight twist can compromise the seal.

Common Applications

  • High-temperature hydraulic systems
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Automotive fuel systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
