O-RING SCREW SHUTOFF
Always OEM - Nothing generic, "equivalent" or off-brand.An O-ring, also known as a packing or a toric joint, is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a torus; it is a loop of elastomer with a round cross-section, designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts, creating a seal at the interface. O-rings are one of the most widely utilized sealing products because they’re inexpensive, reliable and have simple mounting requirements. O-rings can be used in a variety of static (non-moving) and dynamic (moving) applications. O-rings are frequently supplemented with a lubricant to assist in installation and sealing asperities.
A screw is a type of fastener, in some ways similar to a bolt typically made of metal, and characterized by a helical ridge, known as a male thread (external thread). Screws are used to fasten materials by digging in and wedging into a material when turned, while the thread cuts grooves in the fastened material that may help pull fastened materials together and prevent pull-out.
A screw drive is a system used to turn a screw. At a minimum, it is a set of shaped cavities and protrusions on the screw head that allows torque to be applied to it. Usually, it also involves a mating tool, such as a screwdriver, that is used to turn it. Other examples include Phillips head screws and screwdrivers, and Allen hex screws and wrenches.
A shutoff is a device (a gate, valve, shaft, cam or breaker) designed to interrupt the flow of a solid, liquid, or a gas and in electrical components, the flow of current. Shutoffs may also be used as brakes in slowing or stopping the motion of a system or component. Shutoffs may be manually or automatically actuated in response to connected signaling or sensing systems.
