Hi
PCDiver "Vision:
- temp stick cable can get sqeeuzed between the spacer ring and the o-ring what could lead to gas bypassing the scrubber (hypercapnia) "
Now hold your horses there!!! Have you even watched the Scrubber Filling Video on APD's website??!! You need to push the Tempstick's wire inside the lid in order to be hanging all out too loose and getting it interfered with the spacer's movement. Your instructor should have taught you that during the course as well otherwise this is what APD states that should be done.
If you want to watch the videos then here's the link:

As regarding to solenoid stuck open, it is almost the same technique which is shutting off the O2 valve and it's a drill that we learn on MOD 1.

No reason to get defensive!! I know how to do the tempstick properly but there still is a risk. There is room for improvement here.
Being able to isolate the solenoid would also help, no? Or do you PREFER doing it with the tank valve?
