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.
