Atomic T3 and Nitrox

[Philipp Oppermann]

Hey guys,
so I own an Atomic T3 first and second stage that I got fairly cheap in Malaysia a couple of years back, and so far I have been very happily diving recreationally with it. However, when I serviced it last, my technician told me the first stage wasn't Nitrox compatible. Now, I was under the impression that a regulator with this high price point would be pretty much nailing everything.
He referred to the Titanium and the fact they don't cope well with Oxygen. I couldn't really find anything specific on the Atomic Aquatics website, so now I am trying to get your input. Are we talking about gases above the classic 40% range? Below? Should I be worried on my next liveaboard? I have been using it for both 21% and 34% mixes and won't consider technical dives with it, if this is really the case...

Thanks and best regards,
Philipp

What does the manual say?

It's good up to 40%, I dont know of a titanium reg that is approved above 40%

Here it is listed

My Advanced Nitrox/Deco Procedures manuals specifically say titanium regs are no go for higher levels of O2 (above 40%)

Up to 40% O2, it is OK no problem.

Uh this manual looks different to the one I received with the reg! Fabulous, thank you!
