OMS Valve Parts??

[Dave.H]

I've searched and I've googled and I've tried working with local dive shop. Does anyone know where I can find parts for OMS valves? Specifically I need burst discs some OMS valves. The plug is bigger than a normal plug and I can't find it anywhere. This is for LP tanks with a 2500psi service pressure.

Did you try calling OMS ?

NESS has them but not for 2400psi tanks. I just used the higher service pressure ones in mine. 3,500 PSI OMS Burst Disc Service kits are so stupid expensive for OMS valve I will probably just replace them with DGE valves the next time they need an overhaul.

I don't see that being a viable option. My LDS is pretty conservative (I love them for it) and he's not going to let me have my tanks back until they have the right parts in them

They are working on some options for new valves as well. If I can't get a hand full of these then I'll just swap the valves.

Yes they gave me contact info for a shop in SC. Lake Jocassee Dive shop. I'm emailing him photos now.

If the shop in SC doesn't pan out, give John at NESS a call. If he can't get it, it probably doesn't exist.

When John and I last spoke about this last year, he was thinking about getting more of them made. While I waited, I bought another Blue Steel manifold...but if he's had more made, I want some!

If you know the thread pitch look outside of the Scuba industry. Try a Fire suppression supplier/installer.

The problem isn't the plugs, but the discs themselves. John has the plugs (heck, I have plenty of spares myself). But having bust discs made up is nontrivial because of the testing requirements, I'm told.
