Clive,

The O-Ring goes on the female connector, with the rubber facing the male connector. After the male connector is installed, the O-ring is then tightened up against the end of the male connector. Only the cable end of the male connector is waterproof. The other end is vulnerable to water unless the matching O-ring is used.

Hi Guys, I have been delivered some Snap and Seal RG6 plugs that also
include a single O ring.

This is the first time I have seen these with the plugs. It was provided  by
being located in the connection end of the plug but I am sure it is not
meant to stay there.

   On checking the Snap and Seal pdf file It talks in terms of O rings not
ring, So is there anyone on here can point me to where they are to be put,
i.e. on the thread as the plug is screwed on the socket, or at the top of
the plastic part of the seal before it is compressed and should there be two
O rings?   73 Clive GM3POI
