Pull the outlet apart, clean it properly, and seal it up like new
Every Dine-A-Chook drinker outlet is built from parts that lock together with a collar, and inside every one of those joins sits an O-ring with a smear of food-grade grease. That ring is why the joins don’t leak. The rings are made to Dine-A-Chook’s specification for our own fittings, so they fit the groove exactly. They’re also the one part that benefits from being replaced when you give an outlet a proper clean. This pack is ten of them, with a small bag of the same grease we use when we assemble the outlets, so the job is done the way we do it.
Which outlets does it fit?
All of them. The single, double, triple, four and five cup outlets, the outlets on our drum drinkers, and the joins on the through-coop extension versions all use this same ring at every collar. It’s also the seal between the threaded inlet and the drum. Count one ring per collar join plus one at the drum thread: two on a single outlet, four on a double. It is not the ring under a Lubing cup; that one is smaller and comes in its own 10-pack.
How to reseal an outlet
1. Empty the drum and unscrew the outlet. 2. Undo each locking collar and pull the join apart. 3. Lift the old ring off, and clean the parts, the groove and the inside of the collar. 4. Put a small smear of the grease around a new ring and sit it in the groove. 5. Push the join fully home and do the collar up firmly by hand. 6. Refit the drum-thread ring the same way and screw the outlet back in.
A little grease goes a long way: enough to make the ring glisten, not enough to see a blob. Keep the bag sealed between jobs.
When to do it
Once a year is plenty for most backyard set-ups, or whenever you pull an outlet apart for any reason. A ring that has been in place for years can flatten or pick up grit, and a join that weeps after reassembly is usually telling you the old ring went back in dry.
“The double lubing drinker always work, don’t leak and once a year I pull apart to clean them and they are good as new.” — Elizabeth, 2024
Before you replace a cup, check the ring
A drip at a join is a ring job, not a cup job. If the drip is at the cup itself, the small cup O-ring is the first thing to check, and our Lubing Cup Guide walks through the rest.
“I recently replaced the cups, not realising it was just the o-rings that needed replacing.” — Shane, 2026
What’s in the pack?
Ten outlet O-rings and a small zip-lock bag with about a teaspoon of Lanotec food-grade grease, which is all a light smear on ten rings needs. Nothing else is needed for the job; the collars undo by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which ring, how many, the grease, and what a drip at a join means.
Which O-ring is this, the outlet ring or the cup ring?
The outlet ring. It seals the collar joins between the parts of a Dine-A-Chook drinker outlet and the threaded inlet against the drum. The ring under a Lubing cup is smaller and is sold in its own 10-pack. If you are doing a full clean, you will want both.
How many rings does my outlet take?
One at every collar join plus one at the drum thread. A single outlet takes two, a double takes four, and the bigger outlets add one per join. Ten covers a couple of outlets with spares left over.
Do I have to use the grease?
We do, on every outlet we assemble, and we suggest you do too. A dry ring can pinch or twist as the join pushes home, and that is the usual cause of a weep after reassembly. The grease in the pack is food-grade; there’s about a teaspoon, and a light smear per ring is all it takes for the parts to push together and seal.
How often should the outlet rings be replaced?
Whenever you pull the outlet apart to clean it, which for most backyard set-ups is about once a year. Rings that have been in place for years can flatten or pick up grit. There is no need to replace them on an outlet that is sealing well and has not been opened.
My outlet drips at a join. Is this the fix?
Usually, yes. A drip at a collar join means the ring is worn, dry or sitting out of its groove. Pull the join apart, clean it, fit a fresh greased ring and push it fully home. A drip or overflow at the cup itself is a different matter: check the cup O-ring first, then work through our Lubing Cup Guide.
Will these fit outlets I bought years ago?
Yes. The collar join and the drum-thread seal have used the same ring across the Dine-A-Chook outlet range, so the pack suits older single and double outlets as well as the current ones. Not sure what you have? Ring 1800 103 326 in Queensland business hours.
