o-ring sizes

Does anyone here know the sizes for galley plugs or the stainless HPX fittings? Either a measurement or an AS568A number will do. For material, is silicone preferred over viton? I really don't want to spend the money and time waiting for a distant diesel outfitter to send me some. Is Viton or Silicone preferred for the o-ring material?

Thanks,
Alex

I just measured my old ones, and though slightly distorted from use, they couldn't be anything other than -013's.

Seems to me that Viton would be the preferred material for the application.

Look at this thread..... https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=506071

I'm looking to make my own HPX line. The head side is a -05 straight thread with the o-ring boss. Hope this helps.
