Flaretite Seals are unique seals. They are stamped from stainless steel or copper with patented sealing ribs around the sealing face. When the seal is installed in a standard fitting and the fitting is tightened, the sealing ribs are compressed. Each independent rib acts similar to a lock washer on a nut and bolt, maintaining constant pressure on the sealing faces. During times of high vibration and large temperature cycles, this pressure insures that the fitting remains leak-free. Most seals are also coated with a Loctite coating, which adds a second level of protection to the seal design.
