The duckbill valves create the suction and act as one-way valves, so your milk only flows in one direction — into the collection bottle — while the O-ring seals keep everything sealed efficiently and help prevent leakage during expressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are soft, milk-path and vacuum-seal components, so they naturally wear over time. If your duckbill valves or O-ring seals are damaged, torn or have a hole, they can no longer create the necessary suction and seal, which is when performance starts to drop off. Having a spare set on hand means you can swap them out and keep pumping without interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuckbill valves:\u003c\/strong\u003e These flexible one-way valves create the suction in the Gem Pump and let milk flow only into the collection bottle, closing to hold the vacuum between cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eO-ring seals:\u003c\/strong\u003e These sit in the pump to keep the connection sealed efficiently, which helps prevent leakage while you express.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFood grade silicone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Both parts are made from food grade silicone, suited to their milk-contact and sealing roles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen to Replace\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoft parts like these are wear components. Replace your duckbill valves or O-ring seals if you notice a tear, a hole or other damage, or if suction feels weaker than usual — worn parts can't hold the seal and vacuum the pump relies on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGem Duckbill Valve and O-Ring Seals\u003c\/strong\u003e are a good fit for parents who:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwn a Gem Pump and need to replace worn or damaged valves and seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWant to keep a spare set on hand to avoid downtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave noticed reduced suction and suspect the soft parts need refreshing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47282194677937,"sku":"GEM-DVO","price":109.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/9559\/4673\/files\/gem-duckbill-valve-and-o-ring-seals-1.jpg?v=1784529095","url":"https:\/\/pandylane.com\/products\/gem-duckbill-valve-and-o-ring-seals","provider":"Pandylane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
