O-rings in marine toilet systems serve as the primary seals between moving pump components, preventing water and waste from bypassing the pump chamber or leaking out of the pump body during the flush cycle. When an O-ring fails, the most common symptoms are a pump that loses suction, a toilet that requires excessive strokes to flush, or visible leaking around the pump housing or piston area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe #22 designation refers to the O-ring's specific size within the standard O-ring sizing system. Using the correct size is critical. An O-ring that is too small will not seat properly and will not seal. One that is too large will not fit into the groove and can be damaged during assembly. The Raritan 1214B is sized and compounded specifically for the pump assembly it is designed to seal, which matters in a marine environment where the O-ring is exposed to both freshwater and saltwater along with the pressure cycles of every flush stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eO-rings in marine toilet pumps are wear items that harden and lose elasticity over time, particularly when exposed to saltwater, cleaning chemicals, and the heat that builds up in an enclosed head compartment. A hardened O-ring no longer conforms to the mating surfaces it is meant to seal, which is when leaks and suction loss begin. Replacing O-rings as part of a routine pump service is inexpensive preventive maintenance that extends the life of the pump assembly considerably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1214B is a genuine Raritan service part. Confirm your toilet model's parts list specifies the 1214B O-ring for the pump location you are servicing before ordering, as Raritan toilets use multiple O-ring sizes in different locations within the same pump assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt this price, ordering a few extras to keep aboard is a no-brainer. O-rings are the kind of part that costs almost nothing to have on hand and a great deal of inconvenience to be without.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNormalized SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1214B\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raritan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54407915634993,"sku":"RAR-1214B","price":2.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/7184\/8291\/files\/raritan-o-ring-22-1214b-1241087891.jpg?v=1780390099","url":"https:\/\/www.firstchoicemarine.com\/products\/raritan-o-ring-22-1214b","provider":"First Choice Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
