I have a couple of questions on the Mixing stik.
1. It is possible to use plastic barb instead of the Brass barb. I thought the inlet pressure of He and O2 wouldnt be high, so the plastic barb can handle it. Did I underestimate the inlet pressure?
This is the Pre-mixing stik for He and O2.
2. The pre-mixing sitk is made of ½ PVC pipe. What is the best baffle for this tiny diameter pipe? I am thinking of using a nickel.
3. As for the oxygen sensor, Oxycheq DIY analyzer is almost bible in this project. How about Miniox oxygen analyzer plus sensor? Is it accurate and easy to get the sensor replacement? It has been pre-built unlike Oxycheq one.
4. After assembling completely, should it be PVC cemented?
Thanks in advance,
