If your system is a Reefer G2, G2+ or G3, the connector profile has changed since G1 and this isn't guaranteed to be the correct seal — check your system's generation (it's on the original packaging or your invoice) or contact us with your model before ordering, rather than guessing from tank size alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove the old O-ring, clean the spigot and connector bore of any salt creep, and lightly lubricate the new ring with an aquarium-safe silicone grease before refitting.
