THE CASE FILE

THE BIT THEY DIDN'T PUT ON THE BOX.

A rubber ring went to branding school.

Brand-name kitchen appliance companies sell small replacement rubber gaskets for £10–£15 a pair. The exact same dimensions (inner/outer diameter and thickness) in food-grade NBR rubber can be purchased from commercial sealing firms for £0.50 each.

SO WHAT'S THE CATCH?

Food contact grade, exact seal profile and fit are essential.

“The interesting bit isn't the badge. It's what happens when you search for the part behind it.”

THE INTERNET DETECTIVE'S CHECKLIST

Look for complete part numbers and revisions, make sure you're comparing the same quantity, and check the exact model/application. That's especially important with electrical, braking, steering, battery and other safety-related components.

STILL CURIOUS?
