Just out of curiosity...why would it be so critical to replace it?

If it doesn't seat properly...it leaks. Probably not much; and since it's out in the open, not leaking into an enclosed dry space...no biggie.

If it leaks after re-use, replacing it is relatively easy. Biggest hassle is cleaning up after the period of leaking.
