Genesis Nitrox Valve and associated questions

[raypau38]

There is a story behind this but for now I am just going to ask the questions I need answered no mater how ridicules they are.

1) Luxfer, best takes on the market?
2) Genesis Valve, best on the market?
3) When setting up a tank to do nitrox do I need to get a specific valve (something I heard about o rings and lubrication)?

You can get Catalina AL80 with the new Genesis KA-70 convertible valve ENA ready from the factory. http://www.genesisscuba.com/product.php?product_id=230

If you are using the AL80 as a stage you want a Luxfer. They float properly in the water. As a single tank it doesn't matter.

There are many good valves out there

1. Depends on the tank, AL80 yes, AL100 No. etc.
2. No.
3. No. You do need to address the o-ring material and lubricant.
