My local dive shop has changed 3 tank valves of mine over the last year saying they did not pass some test. I have 4 tanks from different manufactures bought in england. They are only 2.5 years old and have only done about 20 dives!!!! Apparently they failed on some 3/8th test with the threads. Am i getting conned? How long should a tank valve last? Thanks, really appreciate some help on this.
Am i getting conned???

ummm Im guessing they have diffrent thread pitch or mismatched threads. If you have imperial (uk) thread pitch and install american this is dangerous. There was a thread a tank that blew up in hawaii a few months ago because of this.
