Installation Instructions
| Bevelled Edges
When designing O-Ring sealing devices it is of vital importance that the edges are bevelled so that the O-Ring will not be damaged when being installed. In may cases mere rounding of sharp edges is insufficient. The following figures show the reasons. |

| Cylinders | |||

||
| The ring gets jammed and is destroyed because the edges have not been bevelled. | Correctly bevelled edges ensure simple mounting without problems. | ||
| Piston Rods and Plungers | |||
|
|
||
| In the case of piston rods and plungers this construction is given preference. | This construction may also be used. | ||
| Valves
When O-Rings must pass a hole when being mounted, provision should be made so that the rings cannot be pinched off. |

| This construction is preferred. | This construction is also workable. | ||
| When a certain amount of passage is required we advise the construction of several small diameter holes instead of a smaller number of larger holes. | |||
