CLOSURE MAINTENANCE
Normal maintenance for two-piece closures consists
of cleaning the closure cap and base and replacing
O-rings and compression ring as needed, Figure 40.
The NC-W2 one-piece closure does not require any
maintenance other than cleaning.
Inspect the O-rings and compression ring every time
a canister is changed out. The O-ring surface can
deteriorate over time. If an O-ring appears worn or
damaged, it should be replaced. The frequency of
replacement depends on usage. Be sure to read the
O-ring Handling Guidelines on page 25.
The following table indicates how often the two-piece
closure components are typically replaced:
