Introduction

O-ring for filter is a common seal, usually used on the water filter in the refrigerator water supply system, it is located at the top of the water filter where it needs to be connected to the refrigerator water supply system port, to ensure that The connection part of the filter is sealed and reliable.

Technical Data

Material silicone
Density 1.12 – 1.35 g/cm³
Hardness 20 – 80 Shore A
Tensile strength 5 – 15 MPa
Elongation at break 200 – 800%

Advantage

  • Excellent sealing performance: It is made of rubber material, has good elasticity and plasticity, and can provide excellent sealing performance. It can fit tightly at the joints, effectively preventing the leakage of moisture and other liquids.
  • Low temperature resistance: Usually used in refrigerators, it can maintain good elasticity and sealing performance at low temperatures. This makes them suitable for use in low temperature conditions.
  • Simple and easy to use: O-ring for filter is simple in design, easy to install and replace. They are frequently ring shaped and just need to be put in place to create a seal.
  • Cost-effective: O-rings for filters are relatively cost-effective seal options, as they are inexpensive and readily available. At the same time, their sealing performance is reliable and can meet the requirements of refrigerator water filters.

Function

  • Sealing function: The main function of the O-ring for a filter is to provide a reliable seal to prevent external liquid from entering the interior from the connection interface. It fills the gap between the element connections and keeps the interior of the element free from contamination.
  • Prevent leakage: By tightly fitting the connecting parts, it can effectively prevent liquid from leaking from the interface between the filter element connections. It provides a reliable barrier to ensure the normal operation of the refrigerator water filter system, preventing water leakage and keeping the pure.
  • Prevent gas or air from entering: In addition to preventing liquid leakage, it can also prevent gas or air from entering the connection interface of the filter element. This helps to maintain proper pressure and water flow inside the filter element to ensure the filter works effectively .
  • Provide a stable connection: provide a stable connection, which ensures that the connected parts will not be loose or loose during use by filling the gap and providing elastic pressure, maintaining the integrity and stability of the system.
  • Chemical corrosion resistance: O-ring for filter is usually made of chemical corrosion resistant rubber material. This allows it to come into contact with water and other chemicals without corrosion, maintaining stability and sealing properties.

Why to use O-ring for filter

Prevents contamination: prevents external contaminants from entering the filter element. It prevents air, dust, bacteria or other microorganisms from entering the interior of the filter, thus maintaining the hygiene and purity of the filter. This helps provide cleaner, healthier drinking.

Extend the life of the filter element: Correct use of it can prolong the service life of the water filter.

Precautions

  1. Regularly replace: O-ring for filter will age with time, which will easily lead to the deterioration of sealing performance. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the seals regularly, according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, to ensure a good seal.
  2. Proper installation: When replacing seals, they need to be installed correctly. Follow your refrigerator water filter installation instructions and install the seals in the correct order and position to ensure a good seal.
  3. Cleaning and Maintenance: Regular cleaning and maintenance of seals will extend their life. Gently wipe the seals with mild soapy water or an alcohol-free cleaner to remove dust, grime, and other contaminants. Avoid using overly aggressive cleaners or solvents, as they may corrode the seals.
  4. Use the correct size seal: Make sure you use the correct type and size seal that is compatible with your refrigerator water filter. Different brands and models of refrigerator water filters may require different seals, so please consult the manufacturer or professionals when replacing them to ensure that the selected seals are suitable.
