Issue:
Is there a trick to installing the seal ring around the piston?
Resolution:
RTAA, RTWA, RTUA, RTHA, RTHB, RTHC, RTHD chillers:
- Slide the inside edge of the seal (compression) ring around part of the outside diameter of the piston.
- Use a rounded object such as a large socket and roll it on the inside of the seal (compression) ring to slide over the outside diameter of the piston, similar to how a tire mounting machine fits a tire over the wheel.
