Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during installation, potentially nicking or cutting the O-ring.Apply gentle, even pressure. Utilize a non-metallic installation tool if necessary, and ensure proper lubrication.
Installing the O-ring in a dry groove, leading to friction and potential damage.Always lubricate the groove and O-ring with a compatible lubricant before installation to reduce friction and facilitate seating.

Common Applications
