STYLE RX
nnnnThe Style RX is an adaptation of the
nnnnstandard Style R which energizes on
nnnnassembly. The RX is designed to fit the
nnnnsame groove design as a standard Style
nnnnR, making the joints interchangeable.
nnnnConsideration should be given to the
nnnndifference in finished make-up distance.
nnnnThe modified design uses an energizing
nnnnon assembly effect which improves the
nnnnefficiency of the seal.
