Hose O-Rings

[deadbilly]

This is a short enough question that it's easier for me to just ask rather than searching through posts, so I apologize if it's been asked to death already.

What sort of lube should I use for the hose o-rings before putting them into the first stage?

Thanks,

For gas not going over 40% O2 just enough silicone grease to make them shiny will do nicely. This usually means getting a film on your finger and rubbing that on the ring.

So silicone will be fine for EAN32 then?

Yes it will be.

On hose Orings silicone is fine...or spit if silicone is not handy. They need very little and this question usually brings up a big debate as to wheather you should lube them or not. I am in the lightly lube camp but I will not go to much trouble to get the lube for a hose or 2. The big things are to lube lightly and not overtighten the connections, just make them SNUG.

'preciate it, that's what I suspected, but wanted to be sure.
