Maintain a perfect seal and prevent leaks in your Taylor soft serve machine with this 043758 O-Ring. This critical sealing component is commonly included in tune-up kits and ensures proper operation of various assemblies throughout your machine.
Why O-Rings Matter
- Leak Prevention: Creates reliable seals that prevent mix leakage and maintain proper pressure
- Food Safety: Fresh O-rings prevent contamination and ensure sanitary operation
- Preventive Maintenance: Regular replacement prevents costly breakdowns and product waste
- Quality Construction: Food-grade material designed for repeated cleaning and sanitizing cycles
- Cost-Effective: Affordable insurance against expensive repairs and downtime
When to Replace O-Rings
Replace O-rings during routine tune-ups, typically every 3-6 months depending on usage, or immediately if you notice any cracking, flattening, hardening, loss of elasticity, or visible wear. O-rings that show signs of degradation can cause leaks, contamination, and poor machine performance. Many operators replace O-rings as part of scheduled preventive maintenance rather than waiting for failure.

Maintenance Best Practices:
Inspect O-rings daily during cleaning for signs of wear, cracking, or deformation. Always lubricate new O-rings with food-grade lubricant before installation to ensure proper seating and extend service life. Keep spare O-rings on hand as part of your critical parts inventory to avoid emergency shutdowns.
Smart operators stock O-rings in bulk. At this price point, it makes sense to order multiple O-rings to have on hand for routine maintenance and emergency repairs. Order from Soft Serve Parts today for fast shipping and reliable quality components that keep your machine running smoothly.
