INSTALLATION OF PTFE PISTON SEALS Installing PTFE piston seals is not always an easy task. The use of installation tools is recommended but often not convenient when working with a wide variety of sizes and applications. Finger installations are practical with rings of smaller cross-sections. Using fingers or a rounded plastic stick, knead the ring over the piston into the groove. With rings of larger cross-sections it may be necessary to heat the ring. Warming the ring in water or oil at 130° F or 140° F for about 5 minutes will soften the material for easier installation. Always avoid inconsistent stretching or overstretching of the PTFE seal.
