Which type of seal face?

Match your seal with these 2 types:

Identify your seal by matching the parts highlighted in red.

Inserted Face (Heat Shrink)

Does your seal match?

The sealing face is a very tight fit into the metal casing. It is heat shrunk in and fixed in place.

If your seal matches this then your seal has a conical spring and an inserted face.

O-Ring Retained

Does your seal match?

The sealing face is held in position by elastomer o-rings.

If your seal matches then your seal has a conical spring and is o-ring retained.

What is an inserted face (heat shrink) & o-ring retained seal?

The sealing face is a separate ring of material, usually CAR, SIC or TC, that is not part of a solid, monolithic head but is inserted and securely held with a heat-shrink process, or is retained by an o-ring.
