Fake DiveRite Second Stage Regulators...

[W W Meixner]

E-Bay Purchasers...

There is currently a seller on E-Bay...selling fake DiveRite second stage regulators...being sold as DiveRite...under the moniker...''walkintofashion''...

First photo is of their fake product...second photo is a genuine DiveRite XT2 second stage regulator...

I've contacted both E-Bay...and the seller...

Exercise caution...know what you're buying...

Something weird there - your Dive Rite has the barrel threads going in the wrong direction

it's meant to be that way:
9/16" UNF Male LH with an inside diameter of 3/8".
At least in Europe all buttane/propane regulators must have LH threads.

Oh, it's a Dive Rite propane regulator.
My mistake.

Apparently the picture was reproduced flipped left for right. Here is the same photo flipped:

All better now.
Anyway, thanks for the heads up, @W W Meixner !
You gotta love China!

but it is then a left hand regulator. Are they reversible?

edit - I just looked up the regulator. The XT2 is reversible, so they have inadvertently flipped the image...
