For o-ring sizes, Hercules Sealing Products. O-rings are measured first by the cord diameter. Will be anywhere from 1/16" to 1/4" for most common o-rings. They do go bigger. Then, you measure the inside diameter. When you have these two measurements, look at the chart on page 159 for 568 O-rings in the Hercules online catalog. For fittings and q.d.'s, you want 90 durometer o-rings. Most else takes 70 durometer. Durometer is the hardness.

Some q.d. manufacturers offer rebuild kits for their product. The Snap-tite 72 series is ISO-B. Any ISO-B rebuild kit from any manufacturer will rebuild your Snap-tite q.d.'s. You do want to check the male end. If the ridge where it grabs the balls is worn, it won't seal. You have to replace the male end, possibly both.
