I recently built an oxygen analyser from a set of plans available on
the WEB.  It works great!

However, I will need to run high O2 percentages though a BC inflator,
needle valve, tubbing, T-Barb hose connectors, etc to be able to
test my nitrox deco gas.  My reg is oxygen clean, but not the 
needle valve, connectors, etc and I would like to clean them myself.

I have read on the WEB that it is easy to oxygen clean stuff using
"Simple Green" or "409" degreasers/cleaners but they do not give
you any details other than that.  So can any of you do-it-yourself'ers
give me the best way to oxygen clean the above items?

Stuff like:

- Amount of cleaner to water percentages.
- Should the water be hot or cold.
- At the moment I have access to "Simple Green" and I have noticed
  there are at least 3 different varieties, which one is best?
    - Lime and decalcifier.
    - House hold degreaser.
    - Automotive degreaser.
- How long should you soak the items.
- Any other steps or caveats I may have missed or am not aware of.

Any info you can pass along would be great.


Thanx in adavance.
