What is an SRWD Soft Seal for Cutting Rings and How Does it Work?
Traditional metal-to-metal fitting seals can develop micro-gaps under aggressive operating conditions. Incorporating a soft seal ring compensates for surface imperfections or minor tube misalignment, ensuring zero-leak performance up to 500 bar (7,250 PSI) depending on the series and tube size.

Step-by-Step Installation & Maintenance Guidelines for SRWD Soft Seals
Recommended Installation Procedure
- Inspection: Verify that tube squareness is within 0.5° and deburr both inner and outer tube edges.
- Cleaning: Remove debris, swarf, or corrosion from the fitting inner 24° cone socket.
- Lubrication: Apply a light drop of mineral or synthetic hydraulic oil to the Viton SRWD seal ring.
- Seating: Position the SRWD soft seal ring carefully into its designated recess on the cutting ring assembly without twisting.
- Torque Tightening: Tighten the union nut until an abrupt rise in torque is felt, followed by a 1/4 turn to secure final seating.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SRWD Soft Seal for Cutting Rings?
The SRWD Soft Seal for Cutting Rings is an elastomer seal made of Viton (FKM/FPM) designed to fit into 24° DIN 2353 cutting ring tube fittings. It acts as a primary sealing element that prevents fluid leakage caused by vibration, pressure spikes, or thermal expansion.
What temperature range can Viton FKM SRWD soft seals handle?
SRWD soft seals constructed from FPM/Viton elastomer operate safely in temperatures ranging from -25°C to +200°C (-13°F to +392°F), making them suitable for high-temperature hydraulic systems and aggressive synthetic fluids.
Are SRWD soft seals compatible with both Light (L) and Heavy (S) series fittings?
Yes. SRWD soft seals are manufactured in precise metric sizes ranging from 6mm to 42mm tube outer diameters, covering both Light (L) and Heavy (S) DIN 2353 cutting ring series.
Can SRWD soft seals be retrofitted into existing cutting ring connections?
Yes. Existing DIN 2353 metallic bite-type fittings can easily be upgraded by inserting the matching SRWD soft seal onto the tube profile before tightening, providing instant secondary leak protection without replacing the entire fitting body.
