My Accor push/pull valves were over 20 years old with the circular o-ring never had one drop of leak at joint. On Accor valve it the push/pull plastic valve that weakest point, the fitting, locking onto pipe, and hoses wasn’t problem for me. Actually none of them failed but I was worried with age of them.
