Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Bonded Dowty seals are designed for straightforward installation. They consist of a rubber O-ring bonded to a metal washer. To install:
- Ensure the mating surface and thread are clean and free from debris.
- Place the bonded seal over the male thread, ensuring the rubber element is positioned to face the pressure source.
- Tighten the fitting securely. The metal washer prevents over-compression of the rubber element, creating a reliable seal.
Compatibility:
This assortment is specifically for metric applications. The seals are designed to work with standard metric threaded ports and fittings. Always confirm the thread size (e.g., M10, M12) matches the fitting you are using.
Care:
- Store the seals in their original partitioned box to prevent contamination and damage.
- Keep the box in a dry environment away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- Handle seals with clean hands or tools to avoid introducing dirt or grease that could compromise the seal.
- Inspect seals for any signs of damage or degradation before use.
