I went to toms website and downloaded the oring sheet with all the sizes and figured since it took me a few minutes to search everything out I would post it here.

Will someone that is familiar orings and the sizes please double check and confirm I'm not ordering the wrong stuff?

If everything checks out then others can use the links to quickly make their own oring kits for their evols.

(SAME SIZE AS ABOVE BUT THIS IS ANOTHER OPTION BASED ON @Bladebum RECOMMENDATION) if you are having issues with the Viton 90 Durometer then you might want to try this out.

No problem! It seemed overwhelming to me with all the different numbers and materials at 1st, then I felt like I had figured it out so I made this thread to confirm I was correct and pay it forward for all the help and enjoyment I've received on the forums. It seems that everything was confirmed by @Dairyboy on the AGN where I also posted the info... ENJOY!
 
Excellent post, this saved me a ton of time and money. Just a note, I have had a plethora of problems with the viton 90 122 for the front block and reg. I believe it's been 4 of those have blown since I've gotten the gun, I recently just switched to a cast polyurethane 90 for those which should hold up way better. I know Tom had switched to the viton because of the run of guns that had tubes out of spec causing leaks. So far so good with the poly

I edited my original post to include the info you provided about the viton 122. Thank you for sharing your experience. If anyone else has something they feel should be added lmk and I will edit my post.
 
Looks Good! Thanks for posting this for others. It is surprising to hear some are still having trouble with the viton 90 duro on the tube. Is the problem with the regulator or end block?

HPS now utilizes a back up ring and o-ring on the reg and tube. We have tested to 6k with no leaks or signs of extrusion and we did the test with the largest diameter tube that was within spec.

We'll soon have regulators and end block available to upgrade to the new system if desired. Also the system increases the max. fill pressure to 4k5.
 
Did you check the threads by the vent? With a wrong oring I had the leak there but was only detectable at that spot and was quite slow. Also alittle inside the foster fill wouldn't hurt. I know I could be telling you everything you have done already but just want to say where I had mine.

Thanks, and yes I did both of those, along with the balloon technique. I would think if internal reg orings werd to blame, I’d see some reg creep (which I don’t), or it would leak to atmosphere theough that same notch in the threads. I’ve soaped that area, and no bubbles.

Hey Tom, appreciate your input as always! I had problems on both reg and end block with the viton, 1 blew on the reg and 3 or 4 on the end block. I have not had issues yet with the cast poly. I will say, the seals usually failed after a disassembly for reg adjustment, etc. I believe if just left alone after 1st installation they will last. Looking forward to the new systems to pick up for my gun!

Makes sense. Viton resists extrusion better than Poly but it is more susceptible to abrasion damage. Poly is decent in the extrusion department but excellent in the abrasion resistance. It is easy to see viton becoming damaged with multiple disassembly and having to pass over threads multiple times.
 
Ok so after hearing this, what poly orings should be ordered for the reg and body? I’ve had mine apart like 4 times now just to look for this leak.
It appears the cast poly are out of stock, these will work just fine as well. Viton do still work, just in my experience they like to be not moved once installed.


If your gun is still leaking, I would say it is in fact time to just reseal the regulator. Thats what I would do in your case.
 
A shout out, and a thankyou, to Nealgl1985 for making this post! Thanks!

I bookmarked this originally and it really saved me a lot of time ordering. I'm changing all of them at the same time so that I have a baseline. It's nice to have extras. I ordered both the original spec viton and the poly 122 size. I will try the poly first because I have a sneaking suspicion that I will be experimenting for a while and doing multiple disassemblies. I just can't, in the end, leave sh!t alone.
