Rix SA-6 Parts

[PrffsrE]

The 4V is also oil free but to be fair it does use a fair amount tea to get it going in a morning. (It's an English thing some may have difficulty understanding LOL)

I did enjoy the photo of 5 cups of tea. One of our instructors spent a bit of time in England I believe it was, when he was a youth. He would regale me with many stories as we were going through a bit of kit, before our dives! Coffee for me as I am simply an untraveled American. (Sorry)

Also in that brochure. In the center column it states: "The humid air that is produced by the RIX SA compressors eliminates the uncomfortable "dry throat" caused by breathing completely dry air."

I would be positively happy to be the one to show up at DEMA for 5 days and represent the new line of HU-2.9 and HU-5.9 (Humid air???) compressors!!! And all the other days of the year.

Wow, I just looked. There is a huge difference in price here in the US between the MCH6 and the Oceanus. $2200 or $7500.

And murders poor innocent steel tanks, lol

Do you have any pictures of the pistons out (and assembled)?

Whatever you need no problem

Just thought you asked for a photo with the piston out not off.
So to avoid confusion when servicing. You should keep the piston rod locked on the head
DONT REMOVE IT

Beautiful, thank you. I think that's the 2nd stage?

Yes Sir, I have read that note numerous times. I just need to replace my rings, riders, and expansion o rings.

If it's dirty should I clean it... and what do you suggest cleaning it with? Just plain jane soapy water?

When re fitting a freshly re run piston don't just ram it into the block.
Look carefully at the photo and make sure the expanded teflon piston ring or its leading edge (the sharp edge) isn't extruded out to one side or the leading edge lip folded out. Center it up before inserting
If in doubt ask your wives for further advise.

Great pics..

Should I clean it while at it? That I can ask my wife to help with

On 2nd thought... she doesn't know about the compressor yet... might want to take care of that myself

You just get the brass part in the hole and then drive it home with a hammer right?

Obviously with a block of wood so you don't mar the steel. I am a professional after all.

I know I know. But the SEAL team units that were the original purchase users of these compressors had scant regard for additional filtration due to operational necessity and used either Aluminium of Inconel cylinders. Other SF units in our neck of the world use plastic lined fibre wrap 300 bar cylinders.
Further apart from training purposes the requirement to return these cylinder for a "Cave Fill" back at the local dive shop after use is in our terms of probability highly unlikely.

On the other hand SF in the colder climes of Europe had there own little "Bothy" to fill cylinders in
I think I need clearance to post those photos due to NDA agreements.

However if you want filters on your SA6 no problem. its our pleasure. Here's one I built earlier out of my NDA time frame.
