I buy them at Home Depot. Been using them for years with no problems.

Subject: Orings


I was at Lowe's Hardware store tonight.  They are a big chain in Michigan
and surrounding states.  They deal in strictly hardware/plumming/paint
...etc.  They carry Orings that match the ones in my Dive Rite Manifold.  I
was picking some replacement rings out when an employee said the Orings for
sale are for low pressure fittings...and would not be safe for scuba.  Any
truth to this?  They appear to be normal non-viton orings.  I realize Orings
come in different qualities...but aren't Orings....Orings?
 
Input??

"Wilderness is not a luxury, but a necessity of the human spirit, and as
vital to our lives as water and good bread.  A civilization which destorys
what little remains of the wild, the spare, the original, is cutting itself
off from the origins and betraying the principle of civilization itself."
