Hydraulic Seals - Compact Double Acting

M78 and M79 are compact double acting seals for rod and piston seals. They can replace O-ring seals, without hardware modifications, to improve performance for existing equipment.

Unless space is a premium, it is advisable to use larger section seals such as M74/M75 if possible.
