why... do these things use O rings?

Most of them use a standard tap washer.
And according to type, Type A has an o ring around the gland so they
don't dribble when open. Type B has no o ring and does dribble when
draining down.
There is only a small difference in price so best to use the O ring type
Or fit washing machine taps as I did.
I use service valves, and pipe the output through the wall into the
nearest drain or a suitable soak-away location. Saves messing about with
hoses being draped through the house.
