Graisser le joint torique

Si vous n’avez pas bien graissé le joint torique, il risque de se craqueler ou de s’écailler et par conséquent d’affecter l’étanchéité. Si le joint to- rique semble sec, mettez une goutte de graisse pour joint torique sur votre index et étalez-la sur le joint torique à l’aide du pouce et de l’index, en étirant le joint avec délicatesse. N’utilisez pas de chiffon ou de papier car ils risquent de laisser des peluches sur le joint torique. Veillez cependant

àne pas le graisser excessivement car des corps étrangers sont alors plus susceptibles d’y adhérer. Le caisson risque alors de n’être pas fermé hermé- tiquement.

Remplacer l’ancien joint torique par un nou- veau

Assurez-vous d’abord qu’aucun corps étranger ne figure sur le joint torique ni dans son logement. Placez et étirez le joint torique de manière homo- gène, en veillant à ce qu’il ne déborde pas de son logement.

Vérifier que le caisson est fermé hermétique- ment

Fermez le caisson et vérifiez qu’il est fermé her- métiquement. Si le joint torique ne forme pas une jointure parfaite, ouvrez le caisson et réajustez le joint torique pour garantir l’étanchéité.

Nettoyage

N’utilisez pas de détergents ou autres produits chimiques volatiles comme de l’alcool ou des diluants pour nettoyer le caisson. Vous risquez sinon de l’endommager ou d’abîmer le joint torique.
