![]() ![]() There are many excellent sealants out there specifically for hydraulics. Splitters don't use the best stuff out there but the valve, cylinder and pump clearances are still very tight. Reservoirs that were not properly cleaned of metal scale and welding slag are another huge problem that often leads to component failure. Yes, the filter will catch some of the contaminates but that's assuming the contaminate makes it to the filter. Remember the sliding clearances inside these components is in the order of. These pieces will eventually end up in a valve spool, pump or cylinder seal area causing at best a damaged seal needing replacement or at worst, a bound component. The problem with teflon tape is pieces will either break off upon installation or from fatigue being in the oil steam flow. Do not use teflon tape in a hydraulic system.Ĭall me anything you want, but I designed hydraulic systems for winches and manufacturing facilities for 30 years, not that you need my resume.
