A/C, O-ring size ? Type 44

[David Conner]

Thanks!

One thing I noticed about the O-ring sizes that are listed in Bentley is
that they are shown to the tenth of a millimeter.  It appears these are
fractional inch sizes that were converted to metric.  Also, I understand
the preferred material for these O-rings is neoprene... so they would
mostly be available at local hardware or plumbing supply stores.
