silicone dont corrode or go hard like rubber and look at treat
there easy to work with also dont vacum crush like rubber
been using silicone for years never had an issue and they still look like new

they can be tight to get on the 1st time
can also handle alot higher temps and pressure

?? howd the cap n splash go fit??
