Just got my Haskel Mini Sport Booster

Right when I was thinking of moving TO the states!

I have the diving right outside. Wrecks, caves whatever. palmtrees waving over my factory. The whole set up. However, if I need a drill bit I have to order from the US or UK. They do have tooling here, but the local guys just takes forever to deal with. The amount I spend on UPS shipping per year could easily pay a few holidays back for diving etc.

Thanks for the swagelock tips. I was thinking with DIN FMs I would just pop in the standard whips from the panel. DIN is a quite easy disconnect btw.

Cheers and good luck with the move. I hear Menorca's got some really good wreck sites. Good vis, but no fish. The tourists ate 'em all!

Andy,

Let's take this of list, I think I can help you with the parts but there is no need to waste bandwidth for the other users. drop me a line and we'll figure out a solution, I still think the female DIN fittings are impractical for the application but you are the customer.

What I am also looking forward to is the ease of travel in Europe and a lot of good diving.

Cheers,
Chris

And catching up with old friends.

It will be good to have a guy like you teaching there. Only a cheap Dan Dare flight away from Blighty too.

That is another bonus I didn't mention, I'm still going to have to take you up on those fish and chips with curry sauce and mushy peas too.

Hi Andy

Here's how I plumbed my HI booster. It's a work in progress - want to add a filter on the inlet side. Fittings are Swagelok except the female DINs.

Cheers

Basically using the same set up on my Haskel Mini, along with a standard shop air compressor female QC on the drive gas inlet and the other female QC on the first stage of a scuba reg through a 1/4" npt to low pressure adapter. The hose has the males on both ends so it can be used from a scuba tank with the above regulator or a shop compressor.

I have the 9/16-18tpi SAE to 1/4" adapters for the HII if you are interested.

That looks very neat. So over to the big question: Where did you get the FM DINs? What do they adapt to? is it Male 1/4" NPT? If so, you could just pop in a filter between the elbow and the DIN.

Are they 1/4" male or FMs?

Second that one Skip very nice setup! Please share the source for the Din fittings

They look like they're the ones that Colin Glass sells (Undersea UK) Colin is a great guy to deal with!

I was going to go down that route but decided not to (cost) and just leave mine permanently attached as i don't travel with my booster.

I had trouble uploading the catalogue, so here a link to it instead http://www.undersea.uk.com/catalogue/catalogue.pdf

[EDIT - if Undersea doesn't have them, it's more than likely that SubAqua Products will]
Cheers
