What scuba regulators can be adapted to run 100% oxygen? Please cite manufacturer sources.?

What adjustments are required to take a regular, 40% EAN factory-spec regulator to 100%?

Apeks Tungsten can be cleaned for use in a 100% O2 environment. You can't just use any 40% spec reg for 100% O2. It all depends on the material used and some metals that are used in a 40% reg can be downright deadly in a 100% application even if properly cleaned. Here's a link to the Apek

    You can run with a higher percentage of oxygen, but you can't go all the way up to 100%!

    Apekso (specific from factory),Dive Rite, Scubapro (from the factory).

    Many manufacturers will offer in their catalogue, though some are Nitrox only, some are O2 serviced at source.
