Pelican Replacement "O" Ring Set for the 1650 Cases #1653-321-000

Bring your underwater photography to the next level with the Pelican Replacement "O" Ring Set for the 1650 Cases, designed to ensure your equipment remains watertight and secure. Essential for maintaining the integrity of your underwater camera system, these O-rings are crucial components that prevent water ingress and potential damage to your valuable gear.

Always keep spare O-rings in your camera case to ensure you're prepared for any situation. Properly lubricated O-rings are elastic and capable of uniformly shaping themselves around the channel, providing a reliable seal. In contrast, dry O-rings create excessive friction, hindering their ability to form a proper seal and increasing the risk of flooding.

It's important to inspect and service your O-rings every time you open your camera to change film. Regular cleaning and lubrication after each diving day are essential practices to maintain their effectiveness. If you ever doubt an O-ring's sealing capability, it's best to discard and 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 not to overgrease, as excess grease can attract debris, compromising the seal and leading to potential flooding. Remember, silicone grease is not a sealant but a protective agent against abrasion. A perfectly greased O-ring should appear moist and shiny, ensuring optimal performance and protection for your underwater adventures.
