Product Specifications

Detailed Usage Instructions

1. Identify the Required O-Ring Size:
   Begin by measuring the diameter of the groove, fitting, or joint that requires sealing. Accurate measurement is critical to select the O-ring that will provide the best seal and avoid leaks.

2. Remove the Existing O-Ring (If Replacing):
   If you are replacing an old or damaged O-ring, carefully remove it from the fitting. Take care not to damage the groove or sealing surface during removal.

3. Clean the Sealing Surface and Groove:
   Before installing the new O-ring, clean the area thoroughly. Remove any dirt, debris, mineral deposits, or old sealant that might interfere with the new O-ring’s ability to form a tight seal.

4. Install the New O-Ring:
   Place the selected O-ring into the groove or slide it over the fitting. Ensure it sits evenly without twisting or stretching excessively, which could compromise the seal.

5. Reassemble the Plumbing Component:
   Carefully put the plumbing parts back together, ensuring that the O-ring remains in its proper position and is not pinched or dislodged during assembly.

6. Test the Assembly:
   Once reassembled, turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Observe the sealed area under normal operating pressure to confirm the effectiveness of the seal.

Applications

  Ideal for use in fixing leaks in home plumbing systems, including taps, faucets, shower valves, hose connections, and pipe joints.

Maintenance and Care

• Regular Inspection:
  Periodically check plumbing fixtures for signs of wear or leakage. Replace O-rings at the first sign of deterioration to prevent water damage.

• Proper Storage:
  Keep O-rings stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ozone sources to prevent premature aging or hardening.

• Avoid Chemical Exposure:
  While resistant to many substances, avoid exposing the O-rings to harsh solvents or abrasive chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
