I am preparing an article about this issue of oxygen and viton and o-rings.

those were the o-rings that came with the regulators btw. It was a machining error that hasn't been corrected yet. Deep6 noticed the error on their regs and swapped out the retainers. HOG hasn't

I've noticed this on at least one of my D1s.
Do you know offhand if there is a workable "oversize" o-ring fix?

it's not an oversize o-ring that will fix it. I don't know if the retaining bolt is the same as the Deep6, I know the D3 is. Worth contacting Deep6 to see if it is and if you can fix it

Thanks,
Hopefully, I'm going to do the service when the season ends and will try to address it then. I only have less than a year and 10 dives on them so I'll just hold off till then. Since I know it is an issue, I just try to be careful when uncapping/demounting.

@-JD- it doesn't require a service, it's a simple fix, but I don't know if the fix is applicable to HOG regs. Something you'll have to ask them directly. A year and 10 dives though, no need to service them at end of season

Sorry, end of this season (i.e. winter.) Starting Rescue in a few weeks, then a bunch of specialties. Maybe a Keys trip too. By then, maybe worth taking a look, and a good time to get the service training that I planned for when selecting Hogs ...
I realize it is a simple swap (if there are available, compatible parts) and not a full teardown.
Thanks for the guidance.
