Under most circumstances
, a lubricant is used correctly very sparingly or not at all. In nearly all scuba
applications, if you can see the lubricant, you’ve used too much. Before using any lubricant, any existing
lubrication should be removed before new is applied. In dynamic applications, it is used to reduce excessive
wear. Static o­rings do not generally require the use of lubricant.
(28) Where parts are not necessary to be lubricated, it is good practice to avoid getting any lubricant on them.
Primarily when the regulator is used with high O2 content mixes. It also helps to keep those parts clean and
free of debris that will cling to the lubricant.
(29) Maintaining oxygen clean conditions for 2nd stages is technically not mandatory. The 2nd stage is a low
pressure device operating at 135 psi. Regardless, best practice is to maintain oxygen clean conditions along
with the exclusive use of oxygen compatible lubricants when servicing the regulator.
The next section lists the tools you will need to service the regulator.
