>>Why on earth would one use a viton O-ring in this location?
Gentlemen:
I teach scuba and fill tanks for a living. I teach gas and blend nitrox in
order to put groceries in my 'fridge and gas in my car. I pay high insurance
premiums for professional underwater liability insuranace classes and gear
rentals. It's hard work but I don't complain.
Are you telling me that I should NOT use viton o-rings when the
manufacturers that certified me to work on their nitrox gear requires viton ?
Are you telling me that I should not use viton o-rings when the
certification agencies that certified to blend nitrox and clean nitrox gear
requires viton ?
Are you telling me that I should not use viton o-ring when distributors of
the o-rings and cleaning agents for nitrox applications that taught me
require viton ?
Not to mention the additional information I have came across from
compressor manufacturers, cylinder manufacturers, commercial gas suppliers,
haz mat data sheets, trade publications, medical equipment suppliers, lab
equipment reps, military manuals, government publications, etc. etc.
