    Please refresh my memory on valve names / identifications.

    Hello. The only valves I used are the CGA850. Am lost in space for the names of other styles and their true 'industry' names. I believe this is called XS ? And the following is the XS mod ? What is the name of the one that the regulator threads-in; no adapter ? Of european use ? Where to...

    Capability of regulators ?

    Hello. Regulators have a fixed capability manufacturers have to comply with, or they decide the litres per minute/cubic feet per minute they can supply at 150 psi ? I believe the regulated pressure delivery is standard, right ?🤔

    Question for anyone actively using a Cornelius compressor, please.

    Regards. Pardon for asking the same again; but would like to clarify once for all, as I had no confirmation last time. It is about the oil shown in the level window. Obviously, it is intuitively filled to the 'full' marking line as any other lubricated machine. ----> What oil level shows...

    Simple questions on tank age...

    Hello, good day ! You bought a new 80 cuft. aluminium tank in March-2004. You used it a dozen dives that season and got its parking spot in your closet. You had it out-of-the-closet, hydro tested in Oct-2007. It got an approval stamp 10-07 and a decal for good visual. After that, went again...

    Hi. Which way it is built; how does the friction is dealt with ? What components are in there that use no lubrication ? Any internal pictures ? I believe Rix and Bauer make oil-less types... a mystery to me how can they work with no lubrication. Light please ? :confused:

    What paint are you using for tanks ?

    Greetings. My couple of aluminium 80's want to be preetier. Now as plain brushed finish, no clearcoat. In doubt if should be a super duper coat against dings, or a simple whatever off-the-shelf that can be scraped-off later with not too much effort. If clear coat only, would need a bath in...
