I am aware of Ocean Edge And Add Helium selling the o rings. I asked if anyone knew the dimensions or sizes of the orings...

I understood the question...and I believe I understand your intentions...overall diameter and dimension of the ring is very important...

Buy the correct ''O'' ring for the specific sub-component...why risk a leak at depth with an ''O'' ring that is close but not correct...or is made of a material or hardness other than specified...for the sake of thinking you're saving a few dollars...

Cheap ''non spec'' ''O'' rings are like cheap batteries...neither will do you any good...

Most members will not respond for fear of leading you in a direction you should not be going...

An o-ring is an o-ring. There is no VOODOO that Revo owns over an o-ring. The key here is to get the correct o-ring first and then use it as the standard to buy them in bulk. Make sure you maintain correct size, thickness and hardness. Other than that, the only way an o-ring not sold by Add Helium for a Revo is "cheap" is in cost, not quality.
 
There are good O-rings that are made to tight quality control standards. There are cheap O-rings that have sloppy quality control. Correct durometer but is the elasticity correct? How much flashing do you have to shave off the seam? The O-ring kit as about the cheapest spare parts you can buy for a Revo. The O-rings last just about forever as well. It's not like they are Oxygen cells that do cost an arm and a leg and do need frequent replacement.

Spot on. When it comes to spare parts for rebreather's, it can be easy to forget that its a part for a life support system, your life support system. My 2c, all spare parts for rebreather's should be viewed in this manner.
 
This is for a rEvo II. I do not know the loop hose connections for the 3 so just disregard the p-port ones.
