Guys,
What type of O-rings do they use for the Scuba tank? I know there are 3 types,
Nitrile(Black), Viton(Green) and HNBR (Brown).I am assuming that the size is Standard not metric.
Thanks,
Boyet

Re: Type of O-rings
BUNA N - Nitrile is the most common.
Viton is the most common for Nitrox applications.
O-rings come in all colors ....I have BUNA O-rings in red, yellow, shades of blue and green also different durometers. (hardness)
Viton is generally brown but I have seen black, blue, green, tan and white.
Don't go by color alone.
Google search will provide hours of reading enjoyment....Just type in Scuba and O-ring types and you can read for hours.

Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB
