O-RING PRERINSE FERRULE

O-rings are used in various types of restaurant equipment to create a seal between two connected parts, preventing leakage of product, liquids or gases:

• Espresso Machines: O-rings are used to seal the group head and the portafilter, ensuring that hot water and steam are directed into the coffee grounds to produce espresso, and not leaked out.
• Refrigeration Systems: O-rings are used to seal the refrigerant lines and connections in refrigeration systems, preventing refrigerant leakage and ensuring that the system operates efficiently.
• Beverage Dispensers: O-rings are used to seal the connections between the beverage dispenser and the beverage container, ensuring that the beverage is dispensed without any leakage.
• Dishwashers: O-rings are used in dishwasher pumps, ensuring that water is properly circulated and does not leak or flow in the wrong direction.
• Fryers: O-rings are used to seal the connections between the gas supply and the burner in fryers, ensuring that there is no gas leakage and preventing potential safety hazards.

Pre-rinse spray valves used in commercial and institutional kitchens are designed to remove food waste from dishes prior to dishwashing. Pre-rinsing can account for nearly one-third of the water used in a typical commercial kitchen. According to the US EPA replacing existing, non-efficient pre-rinse spray heads flowing at 1.6 gallons per minute (gpm) or greater with high efficiency, DOE compliant models offers a significant opportunity for water and cost savings within commercial kitchens.
