Viton small o-ring for Suunto air spool?

[Adr1an]

Just had the regulator set Oxygen cleaned and all the o-rings were changed to Viton except for the two small buggers on the air spool on my back-up computer (old Suunto air integrated).

Does anyone know where to source these? Thanks a lot.

Adr1an,

Dive Gear Express.

the SPG spool Viton ''O'' ring is #003.

Suggest buying their ''Master O Ring'' kit, 24.95.

That little O ring is probably the hardest working O ring in your entire gear set, and the most often neglected because some service technicians won't bother to do what's necessary to remove the console/gauge/computer boot.

Also suggest lube, oxygen compatible lube if you're using higher than 21% oxygen blends.

Hope this helps.

Rose.

Those little buggers are such a bother that I just replace the spool with O rings included as sold by DGE. I think they charge about $1.00 per spool.

Hi OE,

As long as the DGX shouldered spool is compatible with the Suunto internals.

I use DGX sourced SPG's, and I do keep a couple of loaded SPG shouldered spools, but I don't know if they're ''Suunto compatible''.

003 O rings are not difficult to change, you do have to be careful not to cut them with your finger nails during installation.

Thanks everyone, I have no problem whatsoever replacing these myself, took me like 3 minutes to remove the spool. Question is were can I buy just #003 Viton o-rings? I'm in Europe and shipping became a major PITA in recent years so I'd rather get a small bag of o-rings shipped for a few $ then a kit in a box which costs like $20 to send across the Atlantic.

Btw, would 75 durometer be OK with these or should I stick with 90?

I would stick with 90. Here is a source:

Sometimes, depending upon the spool shape, it's virtually impossible to get a Duro 90 o-ring in place without splitting it.

In those cases, I've used a Duro 70 without problems. The softer o-ring will wear a little faster, but if you can't get the hard one on, it's a Catch-22. The clearance are so tight, there's little risk of extrusion.
