FAQ

I dropped my Flip Seal inlet seal during reinstallation. How can I tell which side was previously installed towards the GC inlet?

Simple—just look closely at the Vespel rings. The one with the cut from the inlet knife edge shows the side of the seal that was previously installed up towards the inlet. Make sure that side is down for the flipped reinstallation.
