German term or phrase: mit verwenden

Hi folks.

This is more of a format question than a meaning question. I have the following construct:

Flanschplatte
O-Ring Nr.:
77743 mit verwenden

So, as I understand it, you need to also use the O-ring with the Flanschplatte. However, the number of the O-ring gets in my way. I would really put this like so:

Flange plate
Also use
O-ring No. 77743

However, I am using Trados and the segments did not quite break that way.

So, now to my point, is there some sort of phrase I might use with the German formatting that would get my meaning across without sounding like it was translated, or do I have to redo the formatting altogether?

All opinions gratefully accepted.

Explanation:
and definitely leaving off the colon

maybe a little bit more idiomatic (assuming you are translating into US-EN)

This was what I was looking for. I had thought of "also needed" but 'required' fits so much better.
Also, the colon was only in the German original, it is gone in the translation for sure.
