• Common signs of failure: cracks, flattening, brittleness, or residue at the joint
• Helps address moisture seepage or performance loss at the sealed connection

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the sealed joint; note the original seal's orientation
• Clean and dry mating surfaces thoroughly; install the new seal evenly and squarely
• Do not use sealants or lubricants unless specified by the manufacturer; test for leaks/fit before reassembly
