    CCR Trimix question

    Why DIN?

    Deutsches International Norm...or something like that. I understand the Germans came up with it. Is Naui German? Anyway, any additional info on the rise and popularity of DIN connectors through NAUI would be useful. Regards. boogey

    O2 on general rigs

    Apologies to ALL

    Al, That's a different issue. I apologised as I had been a bit aggressive, simply because my mother is ill. That's it. I have tried to be more circumspect in my posts. My mother has improved. Not looking for sympathy, just trying to explain. All the best. boogey

    best way to rinse out reg?

    Whatever you do don't blast the cap clear with air from your cylinder...fine spray is going to end up in your first stage...well, it might not do but I wipe my DIN cap with a dry cloth, simply because I have seen punters blast water into first stages whilst talking so I try to keep high pressure...

    best way to rinse out reg?

    OOOH I think this question goes far beyond the reg rinse question but how people actually dismantle the rig..ie first stage. BLAST that spray into your dust cap from the cylinder...and that spray is in your first stgae...fine mist as it is and no matter where you hold it...

    I really appreciate the replies. I wasn't a NICE poster running upto Christmas and I apologise again. It took me some time to come back here on Scubaboards as I was an agent provocateur...that means I wound and pissed some people off..well I did intend to. Anyway, mum's still not so...

    How tight do you put valve on tank?

    Oh god...smacking valves with anything...rubber mallets or not is BAD. A nice sharp hand turn at the end is good for people with rubber mallets. The crstallube advice is good...that's very friendly for your high concentrates. All the best. boogey
