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??

Brian
