Rod seals can often be installed into closed grooves through carefully bending the proile sim- ilar to a kidney shape and then inserting it into the groove. It is very important to avoid sharp bend- ing. Thin and lexible proiles can be installed by hand. The installation tools for rod seals help to install proiles of greater section thickness.
