    Teflon Grease

    I'm looking for a grease with at least 10% Teflon, preferably much higher that is compatible with Aluminum and polymers like Viton and Buna.

    5/3 valve "O" ring

    The problem you're talking about is called extrusion. Designs in O-ring handbooks are not made to handle this use of an O-ring. My company makes this type of valve and I can't get into the details of how we handle this situation without violating proprietary technology. What I will say is to...

    C360 Half Hard Brass

    Thank you, TVP. I appreciate your expertise. I have contacted our vendor. (What I should have done in the first place.) He informed me that our part was too large to be half hard and parts this size are 'as cast'. How much does the material properties of brass vary in the 'as cast' state...
