hose o-ring seal

robinfante · 18th June 2008, 17:21

I'm looking for an oring size and hope somebody can help me. It's the smallish oring that seals the breathing loop fittings into the head. I keep going through them, and want to pick up a batch from my local seal supplier. I'd just measure one I have here but I don't trust it, they deform so damn quickly.

Any idea why they are silicone? I'm inclined to just get buna so as not to worry about them swelling.

thx
