Replace O-rings: every 50 cycles or annually (whichever first). Replace immediately if: damage, flattening, cracking, water ingress. Keep spare kit. Use only specified O-rings.<\/p>\n

### Signs O-Rings Need Replacement<\/p>\n

**Visual Inspection:**
\n– Cracks or splits
\n– Flattening (loss of roundness)
\n– Discoloration
\n– Surface roughness
\n– Permanent deformation<\/p>\n

**Performance Issues:**
\n– Increased mating force
\n– Water ingress history
\n– Pressure test failures
\n– Visible extrusion<\/p>\n

### O-Ring Kit Contents<\/p>\n

**Recommended Spares:**
\n– Complete set of O-rings for your connector
\n– O-ring pick tool
\n– Silicone lubricant
\n– Installation instructions
\n– Storage case<\/p>\n
