1. Prepare the Components
   • Clean the groove and mating surface thoroughly. Remove all dirt, burrs, or sharp edges that could damage the O-ring.

2. Choose the Right Lubricant
   • Apply a thin, compatible lubricant to the O-ring. This helps with installation and prevents twisting or pinching.
3. Install the O-Ring Carefully
   • Gently fit the O-ring into the groove. Avoid overstretching it, as this can weaken the material and cause leaks.

4. Check for Proper Seating
   • Ensure the O-ring sits evenly in the groove, with no twists or gaps. The seal should be flush with the surface.
5. Assemble the Parts
   • Align the mating components carefully. Slide them together slowly to avoid nicking or displacing the O-ring.
6. Test for Leaks
   • After assembly, perform a pressure or leak test to confirm the seal works as intended.
