When an o ring is used in a static application,where the o ring is pressed against a machined face,like an OFS fitting I agree,how I'm using it is different.Stretching the ring tightly over the fastener.essentially reducing the cross section and elasticity by doing so..the remaining cross section is crushed when torquing the bolt,without squeeze out.
