    Rod Installation

    Piston Installation

    Also known as Type B seals, loaded-lip seals, and PolyPaks, these U-cups are wider than our other O-ring-loaded U-cup seals for better stability. An O-ring secures them to the rod or piston, preventing leaks at low pressure and as the seal wears. Because U-cups have a sealing lip on both the inside and outside edges, they can be used for rod and piston sealing. Pistons require two seals—install one facing in each direction.
    Note: Maximum performance values cannot be achieved simultaneously; for example, speed is affected by pressure, temperature, and other operating conditions.
