KISS BOV on Dolphin...

divepig2 · 17th January 2008, 04:11

I have a KISS BOV that I finally installed (long story) on my Dolphin hoses. I can't seem to find the right size o-ring for the exhale side. The 2.5 mm o-rings are too tight and all the 2mm rings are too small a diameter in my kit. Anyone have the right size needed? If I have to buy 100 from McM-Carr that's fine but I'd like to know the right size first!
The inhale side seems fine. 2.5 mm is nice and snug.

Thanks!

I have seen that site. I contacted him for ID vs OD measure and he responded very quickly. He seems like a great guy. The numbers don't seem to work for me though. The ones I used were very different from what he recommended. The one that worked well for me had a 7mm difference from what he used.

Thanks!
