Drop-in-place seals offer easy installation and time-saving assembly, providing seal retention in straight-wall or dovetail grooves.
Gallagher and the Parker ISS Division design each drop-in-place seal with the application in mind, taking into consideration the material and manufacturing process of the mating surfaces to determine the most efficient design.
The drop-in-place design utilizes a rubber encapsulated plastic or metal backbone, lined with retention and stabilizer ribs. This design holds simple or complex seal shapes, easing installation and providing automation possibilities. Small contact points require less flange loading, providing maximum sealing under minimal pressure for non-ideal surfaces.
