The groove must leave room for the rubber. Separating load and seal means the bolt can be torqued for clamp force without over-compressing the ring, provided the groove is deep enough to take the compression. A groove that is too shallow bottoms out and the ring stops sealing.
installed by threaded in, compressing the O-ring.
Replace the O-ring whenever the joint is opened; rubber takes a permanent set after compression.

Assembled parts are pressure-tested, recording pressure decay.Alternative materials and finishes can be quoted side by side during sampling, so cost and corrosion resistance can be traded off explicitly.
