O-ring boss seal

Hey there little one! So, have you ever seen a sticky rubber band that keeps things from falling apart? That's kinda what an o-ring boss seal is!

Imagine a pipe, that has two separate parts that need to be connected together. A cool way to connect these two parts would be to use an o-ring boss seal.

The o-ring boss seal has two main parts: the male part and the female part. The male part is shaped like a cone with a flat face and threads on the outside, while the female part has a cone-shaped hole with a flat base and threads on the inside.

When you screw the male part into the female part, the flat faces on both parts press against each other, and the o-ring in between creates a seal to prevent liquid or gas from leaking out.

Isn't that neat? The o-ring boss seal provides a secure and leak-free way to connect two pipes even in challenging environments!
