3. Set up Instructions 3.1 Pressure release plug: The body and lid are designed with a “no clip” closure arrangement. Testing has shown that this arrangement allow the water to exert an even pressure on the O -ring, increasing the reliability of the watertight seal. To open the housing, the pressure release plug must be first unscrewed and then pulled out all the way. This provides a passage for the air to pass though and eliminate the pressure different between the inside of the housin

3.3 Special note on responsibility for watertight integrity: Each housing is individually inspected and hydrostatically tested in the factory. The design of the piston O-ring seal is among the most reliable in the industry and the watertight integrity is excellent. This special O-ring design provides a perfect seal even if there is any movement between the body and lid due to change of ambient pressure.

The seal is made by internal O-rings. The O-ring on the underside of the plug is just to keep out dirt. After replacing the lid, make a final visual inspection of the main O-ring f
