Default Oxygen refilling hazards

I have a large bottle and a trans fill hose.Â* I remove the cylinder from
the Stemme and carry it to the big bottle for filling.

In reference to high pressure O2, be careful on petroleum contamination.
Body oil can be an issue as well as almost any grease/oil.
This goes for breathing O2 or for mixed gas welding/heating (Oxy Acetelyne).
I have read mixed results with silicone grease used sparingly on fitting threads and O-rings.

Better is......
Krytox (industrial supply house like McMaster-Carr) ...http://www2.dupont.com/Lubricants/en...hallenges-.pdf
