Need help finding valve replacement...

Hi Yaronad,

I've emailed info@divefaber.com in the past and got excellent response, but it takes up to a week. It is important to include the serial number on the tank so they know which batch it came out of. Even if the valve is non-standard I think it will take standard service parts so that is your first (and cheapest) thing to try.

I agree with the guy who said put it in water to identify where the tank leaks. You say it was serviced recently - can you take it back and ask them to re-service? A nitrox clean doesn't come cheap so hopefully they'll want to help their customer. If you want to do DIY I think Faber are the same as Blue Steel (not sure if metric M25 is different though). Piranha sell service kits for Blue Steel. Piranha Dive Mfg. I've never used them, hopefully someone will give you a better lead.

Faber uses San-o-Sub industries as their valve supplier, so if Blue Steel is the same as Faber it would be a San-o-Sub product, although I must qualify this by saying I dont know the Blue Steel product which I have never seen on the international market.

The Mertric and Imperial valves out of San-o-Sub used the same internals, only the valve neck thread differs.
