A Plumbing O-ring is a circular, ring-shaped seal made typically from rubber or synthetic materials, designed to create a watertight seal between two surfaces. It is commonly used in plumbing fixtures, faucets, pipes, and valves to prevent leaks and ensure a secure connection. O-rings come in various sizes and hardness levels, allowing them to fit different applications and withstand varying temperatures and pressures. Proper installation and maintenance of O-rings are essential for effective leak prevention in plumbing systems.
