Faber 7L in United States

[CWC]

I am planning to put together a set of tiny doubles. I have been planning to use LP 50s, but then I stumbled across Faber 7L 230 bar cylinders. They are very similar in size to the 50s, but look to have better buoyancy characteristics (less actual weight but more negative in-water). However, they don’t seem to be available in the United States. Does anyone know if there’s a way to get them here? If I was able to get a European company to ship them to me, would I be able to get them hydro’ed without the DOT stamp?

No. It is unlikely you will be able to find a shop to fill them, which can be resolved by having your own fill station. There is also some chance that you can find a facility that will test euro cylinders but not stamp them, but that likely requires a personal relationship and for them to have the correct thread adaptors.

TL : DR go with 50s
