Kubi Gloves - Maximum Thickness

[chorse]

My research just got a jump start! Gracias Amigo

The gloves are, well, just gloves. Thickness, size, and material are all that really matter. I got mine from Airgas online. The O-rings, similarly, are, well, just O-rings, available from McMaster and others. But if I didn't want to do the research, I'd just call DRIS.

The aluminum rings are another matter entirely. I don't even know if you can get replacements.

By chance, do you have the McMaster numbers for the O-rings. I've been meaning to pick up spares. Because when you have spares you don't need them. When you don't have spares, that is when you do need them.

Sorry, no. A local industrial supply has cabinets full and I usually just go there and match up what I need. But the instructions have the measurements and there's an O-ring size chart you can use to get from them to the O-ring number. Google Parker O-Ring Handbook and see Section 9, or PM me an e-mail address and I'll send you the PDF.

I guess I'll have to start measuring things up. I got the suit with the Kubi's already fitted and didn't get a copy of the instructions with diminsions. I know I have the 90mm rings, but I doubt that is the size of any of the O-rings.

I have also found that Amazon has a really good O-ring finder as well. The filters let you dial in sizes, durameters, materials...

The instructions are, I believe, online on Kubi's website. However, from the PDF, the glove side uses these:

Fixing O-ring: 69.1 x 5.8mm, 70 durometer
Security O-ring: 72 x 4mm, 70.
Sealing O-ring: 75 x 5mm, 70.

For the suiit side:

Security O-ring: 72 x 4mm, 70.
Sealing O-ring: 84.1 x 5.8mm, 70.

Also, in addition to the useful tables, a pass through the Parker book and a comparison to what the industry uses for what passes as O-ring glands compared with Parker's specs will show you just how tolerant of use and abuse O-rings are. It's amazing some of the things provided by manufacturers seal up at all...but most of it's trouble-free.

Which vendor are you DS divers using for kubi spare parts? I have the kubi system installed on an otter DS purchased regrettably on line through a NY dive operator.

KUBI UK. Shipping is spendy.
