O-Ring 00-1238A UV Quartz Sleeve Seal 22mm
O-Ring 00-1238A UV Quartz Sleeve Seal 22mm
Description
This O-Ring creates a seal around the edges of the quartz sleeve to prevent water damage and fits various models including MEGATRON, MIGHTYPURE, MINIPURE, and SANITRON UV Systems.
Q:
What does the 00-1238A O-ring seal?
A:
It seals around a 22 mm quartz sleeve in compatible UV chamber gland assemblies, helping prevent water from escaping where the sleeve passes through the chamber hardware.
Q:
Which UV systems use O-ring 00-1238A?
A:
Approved applications include Mighty Pure MP36C and MP49C and Sanitron S2400C, S37A, S37B, S37C, S50B and S50C. Verify the 22 mm sleeve and exact parts diagram before service.
Q:
Is 00-1238A the same as the 25-1235A washer?
A:
No. The 00-1238A is the flexible sealing O-ring, while 25-1235A is the PTFE backing washer. The assembly may require both, installed in the specified sequence.
Q:
How often should a quartz-sleeve O-ring be replaced?
A:
Inspect it whenever the sleeve is removed and replace it if flattened, cracked, cut, swollen or hardened. Many technicians install new seals during lamp or sleeve service to reduce the chance of a restart leak.
Q:
Can I lubricate the 00-1238A O-ring?
A:
Use only a very light film of food-grade silicone lubricant if permitted by the system manual. Do not use petroleum grease, which can damage compatible elastomer seals.
Q:
What should I do if the sleeve leaks after installing a new O-ring?
A:
Shut off water and relieve pressure immediately. Check that the sleeve is intact, the O-ring and washer are in the correct order, sealing surfaces are free of grit and the gland hardware is evenly tightened without cross-threading.
