Review Summary
It is essential to maintain the integrity of your underwater photographic equipment with a flawless Replacement "O" Ring Set for the 1300 Cases. These O-rings are critical components that ensure your camera system remains watertight, safeguarding against potential flooding. Always have spare O-rings in your camera case to prevent any unexpected issues during your underwater adventures.
Proper maintenance of your O-rings is crucial for optimal performance. Ensure that each O-ring is adequately lubricated to maintain its elasticity, allowing it to conform uniformly around the sealing channel. A dry O-ring increases friction, hindering its ability to reshape and compromising its sealing capability. Regularly inspect the O-ring every time you open your camera to change film, and service it as needed. After each day of diving, clean and lubricate the O-ring to ensure it remains in peak condition.
When in doubt about the sealing effectiveness of an O-ring, it is best to discard and replace it. Always use an O-ring remover tool to avoid damaging the O-ring with sharp or pointed objects. Be cautious not to over-apply grease, as excessive lubrication can attract debris, disrupting the seal and leading to potential flooding. Remember, silicone grease is not a sealant but a protective agent against abrasion. A properly greased O-ring should appear moist and shiny, ensuring a reliable seal for your underwater camera system.
