Sealing is ensured by using rubber seals, adhesives, sealing mastics, rubber plugs that close technological openings, and careful adjustment of mating parts.
When removing and installing seals with metal frames, do not allow the frame to become crushed or corrugations to form on the seals.
Welded seams do not provide complete tightness of the connections of parts; if moisture gets between the welded parts, corrosion centers appear. Welded seams are sealed with plastisol from moisture and dirt. After replacing individual body parts, coat the welded seams on both sides with plastisol and apply non-drying mastic to the corner joints and gaps.
