Pelican Replacement "O" Ring Set for the 1660 Cases

Enhance the reliability of your underwater photographic equipment with our Replacement "O" Ring Set for the 1660 Cases. These O-rings are crucial components for ensuring a watertight seal, safeguarding your valuable gear from potential water damage. Always keep spare O-rings in your camera case to maintain optimal performance. Proper maintenance of O-rings is essential for the integrity of your underwater camera system. A well-lubricated O-ring remains elastic, allowing it to conform uniformly around the sealing channel, thus preventing leaks. Conversely, a dry O-ring increases friction, hindering its ability to reshape and potentially compromising the seal.

Regular inspection and servicing of O-rings are vital, especially when opening the camera to change film. Clean and lubricate the O-rings after each diving day to ensure they remain in peak condition. If you ever doubt an O-ring's sealing capability, it's best to replace it immediately. When removing an O-ring, avoid using sharp or pointed objects that could damage it. Instead, use an O-ring remover tool for safe extraction. Be cautious with lubrication; excessive grease can attract debris, disrupting the seal and leading to flooding. Remember, silicone grease is not a sealant but a protective layer against abrasion.

A properly greased O-ring should appear moist and shiny, indicating it's ready to provide a secure seal. By following these guidelines, you can ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your underwater camera system, keeping your equipment safe and dry.
