That's what i told him in the other thread. Low duro oring. Apparently he wants a different answer?

Hey Dave, I found no such thread? Is it possible you are mistaken? Cheers.

This thread perhaps?

Regulator won't seat properly

I have a yoke regulator that hisses when attached to the valve. Obviously, my first reaction was to change the tank o-ring, but that didn't make a difference and other regulators worked fine on the tank. The regulator at issue appears to have a small air leak at the seat when attached to other...

I will attempt to stay out of the fussing. Since it was asked what might cause leaks in the vicinity of the yoke/din adapter assemblies other than the OP identified O-ring. If this regulator has taken a hit it is possible there has been deformation of the yoke adapter assembly. Another, awful, possibility is that the first stage body is tweaked or cracked. Might also inspect (both of) the O-ring sealing surfaces for corrosion, imperfection, scratches.

+1 on the wrong o-ring spec.

I once experienced the very same thing on an Atomic T2, and the connection sealed when I used a fresh o-ring from a kit.
