Tobin,

So what is your best guess on the potential for damage to the threads on a 200 BAR valve? BS or possibility?

Dan,

With the din plugs I have I think the potential for damage is extremely low.

OTOH, if you had din plugs where they stopped the threads further from the oring end, you might have a situation where the oring is still sealing full pressure and you have only 1 thread or less engaged. That's not a lot of brass in shear. This is just speculation.

The Gulftex plugs I have left ~2.5 threads engaged on the 200 bar valves. This should be plenty.

Thanks, soggy. I'm avidly reading all this stuff in preparation for assembling my own doubles this summer

Getting ready to explore Moses Lake?

 

[TSandM]

Oh, goodness, no! I can't imagine even GETTING in that murky, sticky, slimy green water. I went parasailing once on Moses Lake, and every time I got dunked in the water I thought I was going to gag. I've seen too many infected wounds from that lake!

I work there, but I don't live there -- I get to dive in the Sound

Good. Mine are all Gulftex plugs.
