Recommended Lubricants & Cleaners
(All Aqua-Lung Regulators)
CAUTION: Silicone rubber requires no lubrication or preservative treatment. DO NOT
apply silicone grease or spray to silicone rubber parts. Doing so will cause a chemical
breakdown and premature deterioration of the material.
CAUTION: Aerosol spray silicone should be avoided because (1) common aerosol
propellants may attack plastic and rubber parts, and (2) because only a slight amount
of silicone remains after the solvent evaporates, and provides no lasting benefit.
CAUTION: DO NOT use muriatic acid for the cleaning of any parts. Muriatic acid,
even when strongly diluted, can harm chrome plating, and may leave a residue that is
harmful to O-ring seals and other parts.
