The o-ring will be sealing against low pressure-basically water a few
inches deep. So the sealing cannot be helped by pressure or vacuum and
instead must rely solely on compression. The customer would rather use
stock o-rings that are available everywhere.

o-ring is overkill -- use flat rubber washer for face
compression seal.
