Q Replacing the O-ring
Take out the glass insert, remove the O-ring, and install a new O-ring.
NOTE Refer to “18.5 Inspection and Maintenance: Glass Insert” to remove and install the glass insert.
(1) Fluoride rubber O-ring
Place the fluoride rubber O-ring approximately 4 mm from the top of the glass insert.
When inserting the glass insert in the injection port, push the glass insert in until the
glass insert touches the bottom of the injection port. This correctly places the O-ring
3 mm from the top of the glass insert.
