What is the main benefit of the lip design over a standard O-ring?

Why is using a quality Hammer Seal Union so important?
The seal is the most critical component for preventing leaks in a hammer union connection. A failure in a high-pressure, sour gas environment can be catastrophic. Therefore, using a purpose-built, certified Hammer Seal Union is essential for operational safety and integrity.
Inspect Union Grooves: Before installation, always clean and inspect the seal grooves in the hammer union for any damage, pitting, or debris that could compromise the seal.
Never Reuse a Seal: For safety, you must use a new Hammer Seal Union every time the connection is assembled. A used seal is compressed and loses its ability to seal reliably.
Use Proper Lubrication: Apply a light coat of an appropriate lubricant to the seal and threads to ensure a smooth makeup and prevent galling.
Verify Ratings: Always ensure the pressure and temperature ratings of your Hammer Union Seal are appropriate for the service conditions of the operation.
Ensure Proper Alignment: You must perfectly align the union halves before tightening to prevent pinching or damaging the ACT 3" FIG.602/1002/1502 Hammer Union Lip seal sour service USA, which is critical for a secure connection.
