Negative. The plastic twists over time.



Refer to this photo, without the zip tie, the bottom piece will rotate clockwise since the force down is only on the right (opposite of Green arrow)

It can twist far enough that the o-ring will push out of its seat.

All that is needed to prevent this is some counter force to the force twisting clockwise, the zip tie does the trick and is a permanent solution.
