I think thats the old style brass tipped drain. The newer ones have a nylon seat that seals a little easier. I would guess that there is a little debris in there and you just need to bleed it off and clean it up. If its not that then the sealing surface may be damaged and you will probably...

Finally remembered to get a couple pics today..

Well, my seaskin nova arrived just before christmas... ordered in September and they shipped just a couple of days after their estimated despatch date. The suit fits ok, not quite as trim as my buddy's suits (argonaught and santi), but acceptable. I ordered it with the TLS option, expedition...

Interesting.... It bears some resemblance to my old K13 / utilus compressors, but they have a single belt sheave on the flywheel. Yours might the early capitano or mariner maybe? The first stage head looks identical to mine and I thought it was different for the bigger ones. I haven't seen...

I think you will find that the fill time is in the ballpark... The stated fill time of 20 mins probably assumes starting with the filters full already (to OPV) and then filling the Al 80 from 500 psi to 3000 psi. I find the 3rd stage discharge valve isn't perfect and will slowly bleed back to...

Not sure about durability, but if you can afford the bigger machine and don't plan on moving it around you will appreciate the shorter fill times! Other things to think about are if noise is an issue and the electrical demand.

I don't know about the measurements question, but FYI the wait is more like 12 weeks...

My seaskin nova was ordered in mid September and is projected to arrive mid December. Wish i ordered it sooner!

Wow, I have a collection of D400's i should consider selling!

I'm trying my hardest to be patient, but i had a suit leak yesterday and the new one can't come soon enough.

Ordered a seaskin nova last monday. Still waiting for the confirmation email with the anticipated delivery date...

The valve tool is really the best... you might be able to make one from a block of aluminum and appropriate sized drill bits if you are handy.

Nice! I have two of these compressors. Rather than force the valve, try a bit of penetrating oil and heat. It can take a bit of a bump on the wrench, but its more fragile than a solid bolt. I have been able to get replacement valves from jordair in Vancouver Canada. I have also had...

I think Zef is looking for just the cosmetic backup ring. You could probably 3d print the suckers if you had some flexible filament and a good 3d design...

Lease to O2 tanks from a gas supplier and swap them out when they a empty. No need to buy

He has a gas compressor so its probably not restarting without his input... I don't have an autoshutoff (or auto restart for that matter), but I do have a miniox III analyzer that has a O2 high alarm setting that will start beeping away if i screw up. I keep it set at 50%. Also I usually hang...

for my Bauer Utilus 3.5 CFM i just use a medical O2 regulator with 15 lpm range. Doesn't quite get to 40%, but I mostly stick with 32% for CB and would switch over to PP for deco mixes.

Awesome, Thanks! I have been going seal-less with them for a few years by stretching the seal over the whole ring and securing with an oring. Starting to think of getting a new suit and getting the QCS ovals so I don't have any seal glued to the suit anymore.

Ok all, I managed to track down a suit with QCS ovals and tried inserting my old Skaana rings and they did fit, but I didn't put in a seal with them. It will probably be pretty tight with a seal around it. I have a question for @Deep South Divers. I know you dive without wrist seals... Do...
