When you install the plastic ring (polycarbonate?), do you add pressure against the o-ring or just snuggle up to it? In other words are you compressing the o-ring any to add its friction fit against the pipe?
Love your documentation....lots to learn from you.

The sealing is affected at the outer and inner surfaces of the O-ring, so compressing it is only required if the fit between bulkhead body and conduit tube is loose. So, I select an O-ring diameter that is a bit smaller than the conduit, and a bit larger than the bore of the bulkhead it fits within. The 'compression' ring is not that at all -- its only purpose is to retain the O-ring within the bore as I install/remove the conduit tube.
I went through all this voodoo bull**** because I wanted a larger diameter conduit than my stock bulkheads were designed for. Here's the standard O-ring, encapsulated during the bulkhead casting operation:

I am very familiar with your past standard o-ring. I like this "New" way. Thank you for answering.
