ABSTRACT:
A tool for inserting a flexible O-ring in a connector having a recess including a lip. The tool includes a base. A ram is mounted on the base for pushing the O-ring toward the recess. A sleeve is mounted adjacent the ram. At least one chamfered edge is positioned on either the ram or the sleeve for engaging the O-ring to cause the O-ring to flex inwardly during pushing by the ram to allow the O-ring to pass the lip and enter the recess.
