![]() Don't try to bury the toric, just light pushing pressure pushing it inward. Gently push toric ring with blade while working your way around the toric ring. We need to get the toric ring even all the way around the housing.ġ1, Using a dull flat screwdriver, place blade of screwdriver flat on the high spots of toric ring. We can work with a little misalignment, but if it's way off, pull seal out and repeat process.ĩ, On the right side you can see a gap between the toric ring and the lip of the housing indicating toric is installed deeper in housing.ġ0, On the left side, no gap between toric ring and housing at all. Note on the right that the seal is in a bit farther than the left side of pic. After enough pressure is applied it will pop in place.ħ, Once seal has popped in, remove the zip ties and the electrical wire.Ĩ, Keep in mind we're doing this by hand, chances are when toric ring popped in that the seal isn't perfectly aligned with the housing. Flip the seal ring over so the toric ring is on top, spray the toric ring and the housing ring that the seal fits into with the spray silicone.Ħ, Place the seal squarely on the housing, use gentle even pushing pressure, pushing seal straight into the housing. Others use lubricants such as WD-40 as it's a thin film lube that evaporates the liquid as well, and even dry talcum powder will do the trick. I typically use spray silicone lubricant as it leaves a dry lubricating film. You don't have to pull them excessively tight, just snug enough to hold wire in the groove.ĥ, Although it's recommended to install the seal dry, no oil or grease on the surfaces, installing the seal dry creates a lot of friction working against you. Although the edge of the seal ring isn't sharp as a knife, it's plenty sharp enough to put a nasty cut on a fingertip.Ĥ,Then join some zip ties together and gently zip them down centered on the wire to hold wire in place. It can't be a loose fit or it will allow the toric ring to walk up the ramp of the seal ring, and it can't be too tight or it will push the toric off of the seal ring, you just need a good snug fit.ģ, Work the wire around the circumference of the seal, just be careful with your fingers around the steel seal surface. I happened to find some 12 GA insulated wire that worked perfect. Always work with seal on a clean cloth and keep work equipment and area as clean and dirt/dust free as possible.Ģ, Find some automotive type insulated wire that will fit snug in the groove between the toric ring and the underside of the seal ring face. 1, Now prepare the floating seal for install. ![]()
