Piston
(TPO)

Rod (TRO)

Product Description:
The T-seal comes in both piston (TPO) and rod (TRO) styles. This double acting seal design can be accommodated by
a standard O-ring groove. The design helps prevent extrusion and spiraling up to 5,000 PSI. Hi-Tech Seals also offers a
locking T-seal profile, which aids in the installation process.
Standard T-seals are composed of a Nitrile sealing element and two split Nylon Back-up rings. A popular combination
for added chemical resistance is our Viton and PEEK T-seal. If you require assistance choosing the correct T-seal to
replace an O-ring and a Back-up combination, please consult a Hi-Tech Seals Technical Sales Representative.

Locking Style

Improve Your Ease of Installation

1

1 . With the inter-locking design you benefit from:

A reduced chance of installing the Back-up rings incorrectly
The Back-up rings lock into the T-seal element when assembled in the
seal gland
2. Chamfered Back-up ring reduces the possibility that the Back-up ring can be
sheared off in a port or retaining ring groove during assembly.

The locking T-seal style is available for piston T-seals and capped piston T-seals. If youre having installation issues with your T-seal,
contact Hi-Tech Seals and ask about locking T-seals.
