I was wondering if anyone knows of an o-ring equivilents table for SP and Apeks regs. In light of how much the service kits cost, and the PITA to obtain them at times, having a list of which commercially available O-rings apply to which part number would be invaluable. I'd like to be able to go buy the o-rings from a parts house rather than from the reg manufacturers.

Is there such a thing?
 
Yes there is one for SP just search the forums for scubapro o-ring size (DIY forum iirc) and you will find wealth of info on the sizes along with diagrams annotated with sizes
 
Here is the Apeks version that I have. All 80 shore unless otherwise noted. PM me if you want it as a spreadsheet...unless I work out how to append it here :)

Don't remember where I acquired it, but there is an actual Scubapro document listing their part number and actual o-ring size (in mm), duro and material. From the o-ring size, the jump to closest AS568 equivalent is easy. I have discovered a few discrepancies with the homemade summary chart in the thread posted by Zung above. The homemade chart has the benefit of SB'ers discovering what works best, but you should be aware of the discrepancy.
I'll try and find it and post it later tonite.
 
Scubapro O-ring Specs

Here is a document that I KNOW I must have copied from someone here at Scubaboard. Whomever it was, please take credit!
I've used this MANY times when trying to determine exactly which aftermarket o-ring is best suited for one of my SP regs.

I apologize to whomever it was I "benchmarked" this from, who I'm not acknowledging out of forgetfulness.
If you need this in .pdf format, just PM me. Sorry, it's not searchable pdf.

hi steve i want a want spreadsheet,pls
 
A BS606 is not a 1x2mm.
Slight difference, but measurably different friction with the balance chamber.

A BS4518 0151-16 is not a 1.5x15.
Yeah, these work in many applications, but don't spread this misinformation.

Buy a kit and measure the damned o-rings.
