Saw this listed under the Cautions pamphlet on a Dive Rite Valve.

"Do not install the valve to Aluminum Alloy cylinders aged more than 10 years, or Stainless Steel cylinders aged more than than 15 years.

I guess my 2012 Luxfer AL80s are off-limits for these Dive Rite valves?

How many people are diving with stainless steel cylinders these days?

How old were the instructions? Maybe a little aged? Maybe clarify by contact with DR? I'll be surprised if those are current.
