Will the o-ring on the plunger hold up to heat?

I dishwashed it in the machine's hottest program and it stood perfectly undamaged.

I don't know how much heat you are thinking about, but this injector has a nice plastic o-ring that should easily take a good amount of heat in my opinion.

If you are thinking of putting the injector in a dish washer, I wouldn't. Strongly suggest hand washing.

Can you be a little more specific? O-rings generally stand up to some heat but it will depend on the temperature and the duration of the exposure to heat.

Will do fine as long as it is perfectly flat and the right metal. If the bottom is bowed even a little it will not heat properly.

The plunger would only have a problem if it got wet and froze while the door is closed. That could probably be prevented by using a shim on the floor and mounting the door unit so it's higher off the floor.

unless you use ALL of your body weight to press down on the plunger, the glass should hold up fine. I've accidentally knocked around my server a number of times and it's help up really well.

I have not experienced that issue. The maker will have a O ring for you. I think you should contact them. They may have you send it in for repair. Maybe for free.

Yes, just be careful when unscrewing the cap because it will be HOT. Do not pull the plunger out more than an inch or so, just enough to get your condiments in the coffee.

If you've ever used a plunger before, you won't have trouble with this one.

Absolutely - but don't overload it, otherwise you will have to pull the plunger up. This may not be a problem for the Standard Sized model.

Yes. But it depends on what. My old cooker's bottom was melted due to my friend's carelessness in cooking. So, I bought a new one. Since the old one was still intact even after the bottom induction support got melted away, I am using the old one for deep frying. It's a stainless stell, it will hold that heat for sure.

You should be fine as long as u use the shock collor that slides over the o ring.

Not sure - we used our last one for several years - but we also unscrew the plunger and rinse it after each use, otherwise it won't last long.

It isvsealed by o ring connection so theoretically it should last as long as the o ring is in good condition in reality you will only get 60 shots less if using a dilencer before accuracy v pressure becomes an issueHope this helps

Yes, it's intended to be a little loose. That appears to just be part of the design. The top on mine does not fit tightly into the glass beeker whether the plunger is up or down.

you need to lubricate the o-ring before the first use, after that it should be good for sometime. I would check it after each use to be safe, just a general inspection works well.

I have never had to replace the o ring on this item. I always buy this item and then replace the whole thing after four to five years after the sun had literally killed the handle or cracked the plastic. But if I was to replace the o ring itself I would take the ring to a hardware store where plumbing supplies are sold, they have all kinds of rings. That shouldn't go for a more than a buck. Once you get the ring remember to lube it after placing it on the hub. Hope this helps a bit.

Unfortunately the "O" ring that comes with the housing is the wrong diameter. The housing leaked when reassembled. I had to use the old O ring and then had no leak.

The first time I used the appliance it did not leak. The second time I did not have the ring in properly and it leaked a little. My biggest problem is the plastic plunger is useless. It's a good thing I kept the wooden one from my old strainer to use with this one.
