PROPER USE OF L-RING SEALS
The primary purpose of the L-ring seal is to create an air seal where the tire bead and rim bead seat are not completely
compatible. Some of the examples where the L-seal will prove useful:
- Where you have an irregular butt weld in the knurled bead seat area.
- Where, during initial inflation, the bead seating is very difficult.
- When an air passage between the bead and the rim is identified.
- Where overloads and severe operating conditions cause the rim deformation (deflection) which can result in air leakage.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- L-Ring Seals are not a cure for damaged beads nor damaged wheels and rims. Caution should be used during all fitments. Do not install where broken bead is suspected.
- Always follow the respective manufacturer's recommendation for proper bead-lubrication and initial air pressure to properly seat beads.
- If you have any questions regarding the use of the L-Ring Seals, contact Haltec prior to attempting any installation.
