Bonded Seal product guide
Bonded Seals
Metal-and-rubber sealing washers designed for threaded connections and high-pressure assemblies.
- Integrated sealing washer
- Controlled compression
- Connection-focused design
Product overview
Understand the Product Before Selecting a Specification
ouning bonded seals combine a metal washer with a vulcanized elastomer sealing lip. They are used where dependable sealing and controlled compression are required around bolts and fittings.
Integrated sealing washer
A metal washer and bonded elastomer lip combine load distribution and sealing in one component.
Controlled compression
The metal portion helps limit over-compression of the sealing element during assembly.
Connection-focused design
Bonded seals are commonly considered around bolts, fittings, and threaded hydraulic connections.
