Can any representative tell me please what is the difference between these too. I guess the heavy duty might be more thick ? If so can there be any problem with putting DC ring system over them ? We are thinking going heavy duty way so the seals last longer especially under additional load of the dry gloves system.
The dealer was unable to tell me anything specific.

Thanks
 
Hello!

You are correct! The heavy duty seals are thicker than the standard seals. They are twice as thick actually. There should be no problem in the functioning of the ring system with heavy duty seals. The initial installation may just be a little more challenging because the heavy duty seals are not as supple as the standard latex seals.

Hopefully, this clears things up for you! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks!
