Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use these O-rings effectively, first identify the diameter of the groove or pipe where the seal will sit. It is recommended to apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the O-ring before installation to prevent pinching or tearing during assembly. Compatibility is generally high for standard metric fittings; however, always verify that the seal is rated for the fluid type being contained. To ensure long-term care, store the kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as UV exposure can cause the rubber material to harden and lose its elasticity over time.
