service kit for O2

[the mann]

I want to used my DS-V for a stage who will have 50% or 100% (depending of the dive) is the regular service kit used EPDM or viton o-ring like apeks or we need a special service kit for O2 application? If yes can we get the O2 kit for free like the regular kit when doing anual service?

Tank you

You need a viton o-ring kit, but it is not free like the other "annual service" kits.

Scott, I'm in the same boat as well, and would like to O2 clean my DS-V. With the special service kit, is it just Viton O-rings that are different, or is there special O2 safe diaphragm etc. that set it apart? The company I work for orders millions of O-rings annually from a major here in Canada, and they inform me that they stock a full size selection of Viton rings, in both 70 and 90 duro, and can supply me with small batches for personal use. Is there any reason I would require the special kit, or can I just swap Viton rings into the standard kit and be ready for oxygen use?

Thanks,
Jim

I just had a thought pop into my head, and I can't seem to find the answer in the regulator manual. Are Zeagle's regulators assembled from the factory using Silicone lube or Christolube, or something similar? Also I guess it's a safe assumption that since you need to buy a Viton kit, they are assembled with Buna rings?

Thanks,
Jim
