I was wondering if someone could give me complete list of orings that would be essential for a good save a dive kit. I just ordered a monster kit of orings (at quite a fantastic deal actually) so i should have many to pick and choose from. I'll be getting some viton ones separately for 02 clean yoke tank valves - but i'm thinking other orings here.

Thanks for your help.

If it's of any use, I recently ordered the following from Reef Scuba for my save-a-dive kit based on my regulators and valves:

003 - HP hose SPG spool (viton)
010 - LP hose/2nd stage interface (viton)
011 - 3/8" LP port (buna/viton)
012 - 7/16" HP port (buna/viton)
013 - 1/2" LP port (viton)
014 - yoke valve (buna)
112 - DIN valve (viton)

The buna o-rings are not for personal use, rather to have on hand for other people - I don't want any buddies' potential lack of prepardness to screw my dives :) These o-rings cover the full set of o-rings external to the regulators that can be easily fixed at a dive site. An o-ring pick is a useful addition to the save-a-dive kit as well - some like the LP hose/2nd stage interface o-rign are near impossible to remove and replace without one. Also throw in some lubricant - I've switched to only using Christolube on regulator o-rings - it's expensive but a little goes a looooong way.
 
I actually ordered the buna-n from this page:

Thought it was a good deal. Will round out the rest from mcmaster-carr i think in viton/buna-n if any are missing. I just want to make sure i'm not lacking in my SAD kit and will pick then necessary ones out of that kit. Thought it was a pretty good deal. Got the brass oring tools from them as well.

allorings also has viton orings. that's where I get mine. I just got all vitons, what the heck...it's only a few cents.
 
I am looking to put together a Save a dive kit, what are the std sizes of o-rings I need?

Out of curiousity, how did you determine which O-rings are in your gear?

I'd need an illustrated parts breakdown, right? Or are there standard sizes?

These are standard o-ring sizes for hose fittings and tank valves. About the only variations to this list that the average diver would have to make would be dropping the 112 DIN o-rings if they don't use DIN fittings, and the 013 1/2" LP port o-rigns if their regulator uses all 3/8" LP ports.

This isn't meant to be a list of o-rings you can do a regulator service with - more a list for "in-the-field" (or more accurately, on-the-boat or in-the-carpark) type save-a-dive repairs.
 
why such a huge price difference between those 2 sites? A viton o-ring is a viton o-ring isn't it? all o-rings is like almost 4 times more.
