I have it. Recently moved all my regulator files to an external hard drive because I was running out of space on my laptop's...I will fish out the hard drive and upload it here. -Z

I would be interested to know what happens if the springs are interchanged. Any knowledge or speculation? -Z

Si-Tech doesnt make a glove ring system called the "Quick Lock". They do make the "Quick Glove" ring system, and another ring system called the "Glove Lock". The "Quick Glove" ring system is a push to fit system. The "Glove Lock" ring system has a twist-to-lock ring to retain the two halves of...

I am not an Aqualung apologist, but from my own dealings with them I learned that Aqualung does not offer end-user customer support....they rely completely on their dealer network to interface with the public regarding issues/concerns like the one you had. Also realize that a company like...

For your reading pleasure: Here is some info some more another one and another one and then there is this discussion and this one too There are even more discussions on this topic...just type "strapworks" into the ScubaBoard search bar and you will find lots of info related to your...

With regards to the 1st stages....the Mares 25XR was a flop, mainly due to the fact that they designed it as a "left" and "right" setup. They only designed it with 2 LP ports and 1 HP port per 1st stage in the kit, which significantly limited the hose routing and general use of this model...

I dove in Belgium regularly in the winter (Barrages, Vodelée, vodecée, villers-2-eglise, dour, Rochefontaine, etc.) with a Mares MR22 1st stage and Abyss 2nd stage, in waters down below 5c with no problems at all. I believe the internals of the MR22 are similar to the 62X. You shouldn't have...

oh, I didn't realize we were past the stage of offering possible solutions to the OP's dilema. Assuming the SPG will turn and pressure relief will be obtained in a non-destructive manner, the idea you outline is great....but should it not work, there is now one more idea added to the stack for...

The notion of an idustry-wide, standardized approach to this is an amusing suggestion given that sign language as a developed language system is not stadardized around the world, nor is standardized within a specific country, as somes signs change from region to region within a country, and some...

You could drill a small hole in the female coupling that the gauge is screwed in to. As you drill, the material in the spot you drill will thin and eventually the pressure will cause a burst like a ruptured burst disk. With the cylinder valve shut off, the burst will most likely be loud but...

Why are you even perpetuating the discussion? You obviously have accepted the risk of using a cylinder made from a dubious alloy....you don't need anyone's permission to continue, so why do you seem to be seeking approval for your decisions and actions? -Z

Attached is a report of an analysis/evaluation that the DOT contracted back in 1997 after failure of a Luxfer 3AL2015 cylinder. The report confirms the speculation, in this discussion thread, that these cylinders were made from 6351 alloy and that the 3AL2015 cylinders were (are), at least...

And wear safety glasses, or better yet a face shield before you start monkey with removing. -Z

One would rotate the part circled in red to release the pressure of the setup you depict. The OP supposedly concocted something using a similar yoke adpater, an HP gauge, and some kind of HP quick release mechanism, so they apparently have no pressure release mechanism in place. -Z

Perhaps you can disrupt the connection enough to bleed off some pressure by closing the cylinder valve and then freezing the yoke adapter...turn one of those cans of electronic duster upside down so the liquid propellant comes out...or maybe pack dry ice around the valve and carefully heat the...

There is no hose to speak of in this case. The OP attached a gauge directly to a yoke adapter, and then connected the adapter directly to the valve of their cylinder. There is no hose, no first stage, etc. -Z

Really? Are you? You comment quoted above is inconsistent with your comment quoted here below: How can you be "totally convinced" and still need "detailed instructions" on how to make the modification in your suit you are looking to make?: SMH -Z

This is really personal preference. Some folks will look at the rotating turret of the 28XR as a possible additional failure point and say the 62X is the better way to go. Others will look at how they dive and want to configure their hose routing and look at the 28 XR as the better way to go...

Congrats on getting started with diving. The folks above all have good advice but one thing you should know above all else....don't dive with Bob, he is super dangerous! -Z
