A face seal for forming a sealed condition between two spaced, opposed surfaces. The face seal includes an inner seal retainer member and an outer seal retainer member each defining an area having an axis therethrough. The inner and outer seal retainer members each having a first axial end portion, an opposite second axial end portion, and an axial extent as measured between the first axial end portion and the second axial end portion. The outer seal retainer member is disposed radially outwardly of the inner seal retainer member, defining a space therebetween. An elastomeric seal member having an axial extent longer than the axial extent of the first and second inner and outer seal retainer members is disposed in a predetermined portion of the space between the inner seal retainer member and the outer seal retainer member. The seal member is deformable so as to conform to the spaced, opposed surfaces for forming the sealed condition therewith and to expand into a portion of the space between the seal member and the retainer members when subject to a compressive force applied by the opposed surfaces.
