FAQs
Are these O-rings suitable for all types of hose fittings?
These O-rings are specifically designed for brass hose fittings. They may not create a proper seal or fit correctly with fittings made from other materials like plastic.
How many O-rings are in a pack?
Each pack contains 5 rubber O-rings.
Can I return these if they don't fit my fittings?
Yes, returns are accepted within 14 days of receipt provided the item is in its original, resalable condition with original packaging. Please review the full return policy for details.
What is the expected lifespan of these O-rings?
The lifespan depends on usage and environmental conditions. With proper care and storage, they should provide a reliable seal for a considerable time. Inspect regularly for wear and tear.
Why might the color of the O-rings differ from the picture?
Color variations can occur due to lighting during photography and differences in screen resolution. We aim to provide accurate representations, but slight variations are possible.
How do I know if I need to replace an O-ring?
The most common sign is a leak at the connection point when the water is turned on. If you see drips or a steady stream of water from where two fittings join, the O-ring likely needs replacement.
Troubleshooting
Fitting is still leaking after replacing the O-ring.
Ensure the O-ring is the correct size and seated properly in the groove without being twisted. Check the brass fitting itself for any cracks or damage that might prevent a seal. If the fitting is damaged, it may need replacement.
O-ring is difficult to fit into the groove.
A slight, gentle stretch might be needed, but forcing the O-ring can damage it. Ensure you are using the correct O-ring for the fitting and that the groove is clean and free of obstructions.
O-ring appears to be degrading quickly.
Ensure the O-ring is not exposed to excessive heat, UV light, or harsh chemicals. Proper storage when not in use can help prolong its life.
